Elvis Costello - New Lace Sleeves слова песни
Bad lovers face to face in the morningShy apologies and polite regretsSlow dances that left no warning ofOutraged glances and indiscreet yawningGood manners and bad breath get you nowhereEven presidents have newspaper loversMinisters go crawling under coversShes no angelHes no saintTheyre all covered up with white washed grease paintAnd you say...Chorus:The teacher never told you anything but white liesBut you never see the liesAnd you believeOh you know you have been capturedYou feel so civilizedAnd you look so pretty in your new lace sleevesThe salty lips of the socialite sistersWith their continental fingers that haveNever seen working blistersOh I know theyve got their problemsI wish I was one of themThey say daddys coming home soonWith his sergeant stripes and his empire mug and spoonNo more fast buckAnd when are they gonna learn their lessonWhen are they gonna stop all of these victory processionsAnd you say...Chorus
