I’ve been out listening to talk on the street
Learnin’ the lowdown through the soles of my feet
Things I’ve heard about the good people I know
Bad word travels fast when the livin’ is slow
They say the neighbour’s got an axe to grind
The butcher’s got a wife no-one can find
The dentist’s always drillin’ with killin’ on his mind
The vicar likes a flicker of the pornographic kind
And the things I’ve heard about you, my friend
It fair made the hair on my head stand on end
Well, you can tell a tall tale and never stoop for proof
Trade in myth and scandal ’til you’re long in the tooth
But there’s two sides to every story
And three stories to the truth
Always three stories to the truth [to the truth, yeah]
Yeah, I’ve been out listening to talk on the street
Learnin’ the lowdown through the soles of my feet
Things I’ve heard about the good people I know
Bad word travels fast when the livin’ is slow
And the things I’ve heard about you, my friend
It fair made the hair on my head stand on end
Well, you can tell a tall tale and never stoop for proof
Trade in myth and scandal ’til you’re long in the tooth
But there’s two sides to every story
And three stories to the truth
I went from room to room to room to room
And I found a guru on the roof
He said there’s two sides to every story
Two sides to every story
Two sides to every story
And always three stories to the truth
