Liar Liar
Castaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
Ask me, baby, why I'm sad
You've been out all night, know you've been bad
Don't tell me different, know it's a lie
Come kill me, honey, see how I cry
Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you
Make a little effort, try to be true
I'll be happy, not so blue
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
If you keep on tellin' me those lies
Still goin' out with other guys
There'll come a day I'll be gone
Take my advice, won't be long
When that day comes, won't be mad
Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
I'll be unhappy if I let you go
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
The opening lines of the song, "Liar, liar, pants on fire, your nose is longer than a telephone wire," are a reference to an old children's rhyme. This sets the tone for the entire song, which is all about trust and betrayal. The singer is addressing their significant other about their infidelity, something that they are clearly not happy about. They are making it clear that they know their partner is lying about going out all night with other people and that they are not going to accept it anymore. The lyrics "Don't tell me different, know it's a lie, come kill me, honey, see how I cry" reveal the anger and frustration the singer feels towards their partner for being unfaithful.
The chorus of the song then repeats the opening lines, emphasizing the theme of dishonesty. The singer wants their partner to stop lying and hurting them. The final verses show that the singer is torn between their feelings of love and their need for honesty. They acknowledge that they will be sad if they let their partner go, but they also know that they can't stay with someone who keeps lying to them.
Overall, "Liar Liar" is a classic blues rock song with a strong message about trust and betrayal in relationships. It showcases Castaway's raw vocals and guitar skills and has become a fan favorite.
Line by Line Meaning
Liar, liar, pants on fire
You are constantly lying and it is impossible to trust anything you say.
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
Your lies have become so exaggerated that even your physical features seem to reflect your deceitful ways.
Ask me, baby, why I'm sad
In an attempt to get you to take ownership of your actions, I am expressing my sadness and asking you to acknowledge that you have caused it.
You've been out all night, know you've been bad
I already know that you have been unfaithful and have been gone all night lying to me.
Don't tell me different, know it's a lie
I am aware of the truth and do not want to hear any more of your lies.
Come kill me, honey, see how I cry
Your actions and lies are hurting me so much that I feel as though I would rather die than continue to be in this situation.
Why must you hurt me, do what you do
I don't understand why you would continue to lie and hurt me when you know how much it affects me.
Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you
I still care about you despite everything that has happened.
Make a little effort, try to be true
I am asking you to try to make an effort in our relationship and be honest with me.
I'll be happy, not so blue
If you are honest with me and show me that you care, our relationship will be stronger and I won't feel so sad.
If you keep on tellin' me those lies
Continuing to lie to me will only make things worse between us.
Still goin' out with other guys
I know that you are cheating on me and seeing other people behind my back.
There'll come a day I'll be gone
If you continue to lie and be unfaithful, I will eventually leave you.
Take my advice, won't be long
I am warning you that if you do not change your behavior, our relationship will not last much longer.
When that day comes, won't be mad
If I do end up leaving you because of your deceitful behavior, I will not be angry, just disappointed.
Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
Even if I do leave you, I will still feel sadness and pain because of what we once had.
In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
Despite your infidelity, I still have feelings for you and care about you.
I'll be unhappy if I let you go
Even if I do leave you, I know that it will still make me unhappy because I will be losing a part of my life that was once important to me.

Thursday, Sept. 23, 1965, was the day The Castaways
filmed It’s a Bikini World at the Haunted House in Los Angeles.
The stage was the strangest that I had ever seen. The band set
up in what looked like a monster’s mouth, with big white fangs
hanging down in front. All four of us dressed up in matching
red jackets with white turtlenecks. We lip-synched “Liar, Liar”
as usual, and the producers did have a couple microphones on
stage to make it look real. A beautiful young actress, Carolyn
Brandt, danced the whole segment in front of the stage

[Chorus]
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
[Verse 1]
Ask me, baby, why I'm sad
You been out all night, know you been bad
Don't tell me different, know it's a lie
Come kill me, honey, see how I cry
[Verse 2]
Why must you hurt me, do what you do
Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you
Make a little effort, try to be true
I'll be happy, not so blue
[Scream]
[Chorus]
Verse 3:
If you keep on tellin' me those lies
Still goin' out with other guys
There'll come a day I'll be gone
Take my advice, won't be long
Verse 4:
When that day comes, won't be mad
Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
I'll be unhappy if I let you go
[Chorus]

Many, many props to you and the band!
@kentclark6420
Your comment seems authentic. That must have been a mindblower being through that whole scene! The parties, music, weed, girls, tv, movies. I wish I had joined a band in the old days. I've improved my guitar playing over the years and I get a kick out of playing covers of the oldies at open mics. Once I had an electric guitar, after 30 years of acoustic, my abilities really took off. I even wrote a couple of songs. It's great to be in the music biz! You guys were the top of that genre. Good work!

@@kentclark6420 Thanks-it was lot of fun! As I wrote in my book: "It was the Golden Age of Rock and Roll."

The first time I heard this song was on a radio station about 7 years ago when I was working the night shift at a service desk. I then went to look for it on Youtube and I must have listened to it a hundred times over and over again for the rest of my shift.
I understand that Sid Haig appeared in a scene just before this part of the movie. I also met him in person at a Comic Con a number of years ago. He's a very funny and very nice man.
A tip of the hat to you, Sir.

I remember this film Tommy Kurt is trying to prove that he’s better than Debra Wally and Big Daddy asks him to come down to the haunted house for some reason and they get to watch the castaways and the go-go dancer and some dude in the background gets into it. And everybody looks at him and he gets embarrassed.

Groovy baby...yeah! Shaggadelic righteous music for all us baby bongers! Loved that time in music. Feel good and far out on a soundwave of love!!!❤

Just taking a break and listening to a local Christian station WJMJ 88.9 in Connecticut. i’ve heard this song before, many a time, but it really hit me. What a great pop tune this is! When I looked it up here, it was really fun to watch the gogo dancer. It reminded me of a strip joint I went to, and she kind of had those moves! I remember it to this day because she was so talented. I’ve never seen a girl dance like that before. As years progressed these girls at the strip joints never danced at all. Thanks for the memories, and these guys definitely had a moment! I can’t believe that this song is less than two minutes. It really blows me away! 😊
