Lyrics
Baby the time is right to tell it all like it is
And now that I feel godlike there’s nothing that can’t be kissed
The name of a lonely soul is scratched into my brain
He thought he was King Creole
Until he found out, until he found out
He sits upon a throne
He lives a sleazy lie
But he’s all alone again, again
I can see a liar, sitting by the fire
Trouble in his heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as he goes into overdose
I wonder what he thinks of me?
Baby the time is right to tell it all like it is
And now that I feel godlike there’s nothing that can’t be kissed
He sits upon a throne
He lives a sleazy lie
But he’s all alone again, again
I can see a liar, sitting by the fire
Trouble in his heart, he’s laughing at the thought
Coming as he goes into overdose
I wonder what he thinks of me?
Baby, you’re a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in your heart, you’re laughing at the thought
Yeah baby, you’re a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in your heart, you’re laughing at the thought
Coming as you go into overdose
I wonder what you think of me

Notes
I Can See a Liar" is a high-energy track from Oasis's fourth studio album, *Standing on the Shoulder of Giants* (2000). Written by Noel Gallagher, the song features an upbeat tempo, driving guitars, and Liam Gallagher's fierce vocal delivery. The lyrics convey themes of deceit and betrayal, with a raw edge that mirrors the band's characteristic rock 'n' roll attitude. Though it wasn't released as a single, "I Can See a Liar" remains a notable track for its classic Oasis swagger and direct, punchy sound.
