“I spy with my little eye something beginning with…LIE! A common behaviour especially when you’re up to something naughty. This song explores the struggles of a couple who come to the realisation that they are both partaking in covert affairs with another party. Think Mr and Mrs Smith, but less murder. Just fingers crossed it’s not the same person…”
