Murray Head - Say It Ain't So Jo

say it ain't so,jo please, say it ain't so
thats not what I want to hear Joe
ain't I got a right to know
say it ain't so, jo please, say it ain't so
i'm sure they're telling us lies jo
please tell us it ain't so

they told us our hero has played his trump card
he doesn't know how to go on
we're clinging to his charm and determined smile
but the good old days are gone,

the image and the empire may be falling apart
the money has goten scarce
one mans word held the country together
but the truth is getting fierce

say it ain't so,joe please, say it ain't so
we pinned our hopes on you joe
and they're ruining our show
