about

From LT: The lyric inspiration on “Better Man” came from dealing with people who were, shall we say, less than entirely honest with their intentions. It’s funny listening back to this song all of these years later. The lyric “so come on twist the knife my friend, but I’ll still be here at the end, and soon you’ll see you lost it all” couldn’t have been more accurate. I love Mav’s (guitar) solo in this song as well — really tasty blues based melodic lines.

lyrics

Deceiver - ill will you deny
Betrayer of trust you defile
False logic, the truth you defy

Of heart icy cold, turned to black
Razor-wire words of attack
With thrust of the blade to my back

PRE-CHORUS 1:
And watching your fables unfold
In time truth be told

CHORUS:
I will always be the better man
I will always be the best man that I can
So come on twist the knife, my friend
But I'll still be here at the end
And soon you'll see you've lost it all...

So now, transparent - I see through your lies
Facade torn, betrayed, no surprise
Remaining respect cast aside

As plain as the day now it's clear
Playing the game, insincere
Caught up in your own web of tears

PRE-CHORUS 2:
And watch as your crocodile smile
Is betrayed by your eyes

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO: Mav

REPEAT CHORUS x 2
