Name: Say It Isn't So
Duration: P00H04M05S
Description: I bought a Mandolin for about 60 quid. I didn't have a clue about how to play it or even tune it. Found out how to tune it and then messed about with it for a day or two. Then I wrote this song. I still can't play the mandolin very well....but sometimes I pick it up in search of a bit of inspiration. It often works.

I bought a Mandolin for about 60 quid. I didn't have a clue about how to play it or even tune it. Found out how to tune it and then messed about with it for a day or two. Then I wrote this song. I still can't play the mandolin very well....but sometimes I pick it up in search of a bit of inspiration. It often works.

lyrics

An icy chill runs down my spine, that car's parked there again
They said she's got a brand new guy and I've been part-exchanged
Say it isn't so

He makes three times as much as me, that means a lot to Her
She's been seen out on the town wearing expensive fur
Say it isn't so

Her old home is up for sale, they say she's moving in
She's moving out to the country set so she can be with him
Say it isn't so.

When we met the other day she didn't meet my eyes
All I wanted was the truth and all I got was lies
Say it isn't so

I got my broken stereo and all my records back
I left behind the keys I had and my whole mood was Black
Say it isn't so,
