Lyrics for Poor Napoleon by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Blood Chocolate | | Track: | Poor Napoleon | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 67 | | | | Lyrics: | I can't lie on this bed anymore it burns my skin
You can take the truthful things you've said
to me
And put them on the head of a pin
Poor Napoleon
You always look so
disappointed when I take my stockings off
Don't you know the facts of life, boy
Don't you
know what these things cost
She was selling stolen kisses to travelling salesmen and minstrel
singers
You put a penny in the slot
She called you her Magic Fingers
Poor
Napoleon
I bet she isn't all that's advertised
I bet that isn't all she
fakes
Just like that place where they take your spine
And turn it into
soapflakes
Bare wires from the socket to the bed where you embraced that girl
Did
you ever think there's far too many people in the world?
One day they'll probably make a movie
out of all of this
There won't even have to be a murder just a slow dissolving kiss | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
