Thanks. The Subterfuge one was actually a mistake. I had it your way in my written copy, but when I typed it in here for some reason I added the A and didn't notice it. The other changes I like. Thanks a lot.

I enjoyed your song. My kids have this game called “Spy Web” and I was thinking about that when I was reading through. There are just a couple of minor flow issues that I had with it so I had a go at some edits , hope you don't mind.


SPY GAME

WELL YOU THINK YOU'RE SLY
ENOUGH TO BE A SPY
YOU'VE EVEN GOT YOUR OWN THEME SONG

BUT SUBTERFUGE
IS JUST DECEIT IN USE
TO MAKE NOTHING YOU DO SEEM WRONG

'CAUSE THE OPERATIVE WORD IN this SPY GAME
CLEARLY ISN'T SPY
IT'S JUST A NEWER VERSION OF the GAME RENAMED
IN A MISSION TO DISGUISE YOUR LIES

OH THOSE STEALTHY EXITS
YOU'D HAVE SAID IT
WAS INNOCENCE UNDERCOVER

BUT I DON'T NEED TO BRING
MY DECODER RING
TO READ RENDEZVOUS WITH LOVER

'CAUSE THE OPERATIVE WORD IN this SPY GAME
CLEARLY ISN'T SPY
IT'S JUST A NEWER VERSION OF the GAME RENAMED
IN A MISSION TO DISGUISE YOUR LIES

YEAH YOU THINK YOU EXUDE
INTRIGUE AND MYSTERY
WITH YOUR MASTERY OF ELUSION

BUT NEW LIES WON'T EXCLUDE
YOUR UNFAITHFUL HISTORY
as AN ALIAS FOR MORE CONFUSION

'CAUSE THE OPERATIVE WORD IN this SPY GAME
CLEARLY ISN'T SPY
IT'S JUST A NEWER VERSION OF the GAME RENAMED
IN A MISSION TO DISGUISE YOUR LIES

YEAH IT'S JUST A NEWER VERSION OF the GAME RENAMED
IN A MISSION TO DISGUISE YOUR LIES

ANOTHER MISSION TO DISGUISE YOUR LIES


Good work :D .

Amazing what a difference one word can make--adding "this" and changing a to "the" worked great. Liked your suggestions so much, I just went ahead and edited them in. Oh, and I kept going back and forth with that alias one, trying to figure out what little word to put before it, ending up with "in" but I definitely like "as" better, so thanks for that too.
