Lies Lyrics

You said too much
And what you said it was a lie
You said too much
And what you said it was a crime

I've bled too much
With every lie you keep on telling
I've bled too much
This time, each time

The harder we fall, the closer we are
I don't feel blue, when I'm with you
You said too much
And what you said, it was a lie

Lie and what you said, it was a lie
Each time we fall
You say too much
This time, each time

This time I don't feel so blue
When I'm with you
I've got a gun, got hollow point bullets
Do it

That's the way destiny works
You don't always question it
Right now, do it now

Lies

Originally, this contained a voice sample from Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon. Yoko Ono sent a letter and asked the group to remove the sample, which they did. The group complied and eradicated the the voice track. The single/album containing that bit is now very much a rarity.

In the US, this was EMF's only other hit besides their #1 "Unbelievable."

Unbelievable Lyrics

You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
Now listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you

The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're Unbelievable
You burden me with your problems
By telling me more than mine
I'm always so concerned
With the way you say,
You've always go to stop
To think of us being one
Is more than I ever know
But this time, I realize
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you

Seemingly lastless, don't mean
You can ask us
Pushing down the relative
Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times, pushing
Down the better few, instead of
Bringing out the clues, to what the
World and everything anger to, brace
Yourself with the grace of ease,
I know this world ain't what it seems.
What the fuck was that,
It's unbelievable

Unbelievable Song Chart

This song is about a girl who is "unbelievable" in the sense that she is very demanding and offers nothing in return - the singer feels he can do nothing right when he's around her.

This used a sample of raunchy comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay saying "Oh," followed on the album version by "What the f--k was that!"

EMF was led by their guitarist Ian Dench, who is also their primary songwriter, although the entire band was credited on this track. Dench was in a band called Apple Mosaic, who had a contract with Virgin Records but little impact. He formed EMF with some spirited young musicians from around England, and their first album, Schubert Dip, placed four songs in the UK Top 40, with "Unbelievable" peaking at #3 in November, 1990. Six months later, the song broke out in America, where its quirky charm was embraced by Pop radio and dance clubs looking for a new sound. Their US success was short lived, as they did little promotion in the country (their mainman Dench didn't even join them for their tour of the States in the summer of 1991), and after the #18 charting song "Lies," they weren't heard from Stateside again. The band members who did come to America apparently had a pretty good time; their keyboard player Derry Brownson and bass player Zac Foley were just 20 years old, and their hedonism on tour was a common topic in interviews. The band's follow-up album Stigma was a more somber affair, but did produce two more UK Top 40 hits. The band charted nine times in the UK Top 40 by 1995.

On their only American tour, EMF played this multiple times at every show. It was the only song most of the audience had heard of.

Tom Jones played this at some of his live shows, to the delight of the band. Jones performed the song with EMF on a British TV show where he told them about how he sang it in Vegas. According to the band, Jones got them really drunk that night.

This was used on the soundtrack to the movie Coyote Ugly.

The CD single for this contains a song with no title, it only says "EMF live at the Bilson," and contained the lyric: "Ectasy Motherf--ker From us to you." This adds fuel to the rumor their name means Ecstasy Mother F--ker. (thanks, chet - saratoga springs, NY)
