The lyrics to this one was earlier presented in the lyrics section here:
http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/lyric-reviews/how-would-you-know/msg95827/#msg95827It has since been renamed "The Biggest Crime" but the content is the same. It´s another song about the lies ruling the world and the hardship facing those who wants to think and live outside the box. It is also a celebration of the magic in life, real or not. But I firmly believe that the possibility of different kind of magic should be a possibility even if I might, or might not, believe in such a thing...
Well. I am
very happy with the outcome of the song. Hope ya´ll like it as well
http://soundcloud.com/skogge/the-biggest-crimeThe Biggest CrimeI was born in a flash of magic
then learned to trust in logic
as taught us in school
Just never learned the Mathematics
or how to read schematics
I looked like a fool
The straight line that matters
in how to behave
I threaded on that line
with all the worries in the world
I couldn´t steer away
for the threat of a sword
To common for the arts
but to strange for the herd
Where would I go?
In time when I got older
and the world a little colder
I started to see and
many things fell out of glory
just another empty story
will not set you free
Some say there is magic
Some say there is not…
But what if some
forgotten alchemist
made gold
and someone far
from being a star
will never grow old
If the biggest crime
in all of time
is telling the truth
How would you know?
But ooh…
If I supported anything
it wouldn´t be a diamond ring at all
A useless thing
staring in the ground
she and him
searching in the round
trying to have some fun
and to hold each other down
But what if some
forgotten alchemist
made gold
and someone far
from being a star
will never grow old
If the biggest crime
in all of time
is telling the truth
How would you know? (repeat)
