Where The … Read Full Bio ↴The Pollies is an American alt-country band from Alabama.
Where The Lies Begin is the debut record from The Pollies—a collection of songs that defy categorization and signal the arrival of this oft-buzzed-about Muscle Shoals, AL group onto the national scene.
“It’s more of a statement that sums up the record,” explains lead singer and guitarist Jay Burgess. “It tells stories from my childhood to the present-day. As the record ends, there are definite points where I’m coming to terms and drawing conclusions from those stories.”
Just like the stories that make up the record, the actual process of writing and recording Where The Lies Begin has been years in the making—literally. It began as the brainchild of Burgess and bassist Chris James, whose musical partnership began in Muscle Shoals group Sons of Roswell. While time ticked on, the lineup of the band went through changes. Life happened, as it always does. Nevertheless, work on the record continued.
While members began settling into the group, the sound of The Pollies grew to reflect the diversity of its parts. Daniel Stoddard (Dylan LeBlanc) uses pedal steel, keys and effects to help create the sprawling soundscapes that anchor the songs. Matt Green (Belle Adair) provides a boldly melodic and experimental edge as lead guitarist. Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes) adds the piano and organ touches of a seasoned veteran, and Reed Watson delivers a deep pocket groove on the drums, echoing a love for the soul music of Muscle Shoals’ lore.
And with that, The Pollies are ready to be introduced the world. It’s been a long time coming, too. Anyone who knows this band knows that the journey to the release of this record has been, well, quite a journey. Where The Lies Begin acts as a snapshot of that time. To me and you, we call that “living life”. To The Pollies, it’s something worth singing about.
Now, finally, you can hear why.

The Pollies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a gun in her hand
That you would never see her coming
She was the one
The one in my life that wouldn′t quit for nothing
You, ah you
Were the girl that I thought would never leave me running
I was the one
With a soft spoken voice, but strong opinionated
I was the one
The one that broke hearts and left them all bleeding
You, ah you
Was the girl that I thought would never leave me running
You, ah you
You say it's a terrible game we play
Yet we play
You say it′s a terrible game we play
Yet we play
The lyrics to The Pollies's song Games talk about two people who are describing themselves and their past relationships. The first verse talks about a woman who was dangerous and unpredictable, someone who could catch you off guard. She was an important figure in the singer's life, someone who wouldn't give up on anything easily. The second verse is about the singer, who is soft-spoken yet has a strong personality. The singer admits to being the one who has left many hearts broken and bleeding. The chorus, "You say it's a terrible game we play, yet we play," describes how both the woman and the singer are aware of the hurt and suffering that comes with love, but they still cannot resist playing this game.
The song portrays how love can be a dangerous and passionate game, where someone might win or lose. The two individuals in this song have different personalities, but they are drawn to each other, even knowing the pain and suffering that comes with a relationship. The chorus, "You say it's a terrible game we play, yet we play," highlights how the two individuals are aware of the consequences of their actions but still can't help but play the game of love.
