Track Description
Available in:
"Lies" is the fifteenth single from British pop rock band, McFly, released on 15 September 2008. "Lies" did not feature on the promotional 10-track copy of the album Radio:Active which was given away in The Mail on Sunday in July 2008, however it features as one of the four additional tracks on the retail edition of the album, which was released on 22 September 2008. The lead vocals for the song are split between band members Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher, with vocal contributions from bassist Dougie Poynter. Upon release, the song reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 1 on the Scottish Singles Chart.

The full music video is just over 6 minutes long, and received its premiere on Channel 4's teen strand, T4 on 23 August 2008. The video, directed by the duo Chris Hopewell and Ben Foley, takes place in an apocalyptic world where water is scarce and therefore a source of power.

The opening monologue: "Now We have only the memories, of a green and pleasant land that lies below the countless fathoms. The lifeless seas, filthy and reeking, crept up on mankind, inch by inch. Slowly his clever water powered world ground to a halt. Brother fought Brother, Nation fought Nation. But there are those who flourish in this blight of times, they cleanse the water. Make it pure again. For a Price. Only the strong and the quick survive, living off their animal cunning, always mobile in the endless search of the life bringing water. In their cities of fire and steel, these all powerful water barons, now run the world. Holding all to ransom in a firestorm of fear."

"McFly go all Mad Max in Chris Hopewell and Ben Foley's fantasy epic - and demonstrate you get loads of bang for your buck down in Bristol at Collision Films. It's a post-apocalyptic world where water is the most precious commodity (not an unreasonable premise then) and McFly's must enter the fortress city of the beautiful yet merciless water baroness and her teeming cohorts to get some. Luckily they have super powers to match her super powers...
Six minutes of far-fetched fun, with impressively old-skool production values." (David Knight, Promonews)
