It's A Lie is a perfect example of The Stones (with Sugar Blue) on the top of their game in 1977-78 in the studio.
So relaxed, well played, loose, improvising, jamming, creating just a great tune.
This period 77-78-79 was magic there are so much unreleased bootleg only tracks known and of course they released SOME GIRLS DELUXE officaly.
One of the best outtakes of that period for me is the song NEVER TOO INTO a great three guitar song with unfinished lyrics.
Would like to post it in this thread, don't know how. Gonna play it now from "Better Results" a nice bootleg by Outsider Bird Records from 1994.

I find it horrible, the kind of song that has "outtake - never to be released officially" written on its little forehead.
It starts very weak and it goes nowhere before it fades out (permanently?).
Plus it has some of the worst vocal performance ever delivered by Jagger. That drunken slur... yuck!
Kimsey probably was shaking his head as the tapes were rolling... "hey at least we have "Miss You" and a bunch of other decent tunes to build an album from..."

And in terms of sounds and possibilities, it's the rough and ready Stones doing their take on punk. Solid, dirty groove, and hey, Charlie sound great tonight, doesn't he?
I think if they put out something like this today--we should be so lucky--we'd be hailing the return of the classic Stones.

Hello Swiss;
I don't believe this song was recorded that late (Jan.-March 1978), well at least the first time. There is an interview with Mick, Ronnie & Charlie (Sept. 1977 on Old Grey Whistle Test) talking about their new L.P. "Love You Live' in the background you hear the track "It's A Lie" being played. So I would put the song being recorded pre-Sept. 1977. There is more info on this song but more later. I hope this helps.

It's an early demo. It's bound to be imperfect. No lyrics, still searching musically. it's the sounds and the possibilities we should judge when it comes to these songs, not the song per se, imo

You refer to the Youtube-version of the interview, but this was reworked by the uploader or someone else. There wasn't any soundtrack of It's A Lie in the original telecast. The track was not yet recorded in September 1977.

A master tape of the Rolling Stones outtake, "It's A Lie," recorded but never released during the sessions for their "Undercover" album. We obtained this from the late great Art Collins, former head of Rolling Stones Records. Collins' letter of authenticity describes how this track was recorded by the band during sessions booked for the band under the pseudonym "Fall Fire". This rough mix tape was made for the band's review, but it wasn't used for the album. The box is dated 3/20/81. Collins' letter is quite descriptive, noting that "during this period there was a lot of bad attitudes flying around within the band." A unique Stones collectible with impeccable provenance.

Fall Fire was an early working title for Tattoo You. If It's A Lie was in that collection, then it was maybe briefly considered for inclusion. But it surely comes from the Some Girls- or Emotional Rescue-sessions, not from before or after.
