Lyrics for King Horse by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Get Happy | | Track: | King Horse | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 67 | | | | Lyrics: | cheap cut satin and bad perfume
showtime is almost here
tears stop by your
strength
caught you laughing up your sleeve
sniggering in your beer
seen the bottom
of a lot of glasses
but he's never seen love so near
he'd seen love get so
expensive
but he'd never seen love so dear
CHORUS:
now I know that you're all
king horse
between tenderness and brute force
now I know that you're all king
horse
between tenderness and brute force
she can turn a pot of sixpence
in the
mouth and trouser set
hit the till ring the bill
never spill a sip
and still she
knows the kind of tip
she is going to get
a lot of loose exchanges precious little
respect
but if someone else is weakened
that's the best that you can
expect
chorus
so fine knit a fabric
so fine a fabrication
from comic
books to tragic
to the art of conversation
meanwhile back in some secluded
spot
he says will you please and she says stop
if I ever loose this good thing that I
got
I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight
you see I knew that song so long
before we met
that it means much more than it might
