Codebreaker

You’ve got secrets that you never meant to keep

You couldn’t hold them, so you gave them all to me

I’ve got them locked away and I threw away the key

So they’ll never find their way into the hands of our enemies

Too bad Bletchley Park couldn’t use you now, comes easy anyhow

Little codebreaker, first to call me out, didn't matter any how

Because not a word of truth ever leaves your mouth

Speaking of enemies I’ve come to make a few

A long list of dates and names and at the end is you

I was an open book, too easy to read

A double-cross, cut-throat and it all ended with me

Too bad Bletchley Park couldn’t use you now, comes easy anyhow

Little codebreaker, first to call me out, didn't matter any how

Because not a word of truth ever leaves your mouth
