Lyrics for Pretty Words by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Trust | | Track: | Pretty Words | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | I ask you nicely
Get my face slapped under wraps
What's going on precisely
Is there
something wrong perhaps?
Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise)
It's more like a
booby trap than a booby prize
Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty
rifle
You're loosining all the screws that hold the hinges of my life
Fat cats and
army brats
Hep cats and dog tag pawing over girly mags
Chorus:
Pretty words
don't mean much anymore
I don't mean to be mean much anymore
All I see are snapshots,
bigshots, tender spots
(1) mug shots, machine slots
(2) machine slots, mug
shots
'Till you don't know what's what
You don't know what you got
Curious
women running after curious men
Curiosity didn't kill the cat
It was a poisioned
pen
But there's not much choice (it's Hobson's choice)
Between a cruel mouth and a jealous
voice
Got back to London
Picked a paper from the man
No words of consolation
Just cartoons and titter tatter
Well well, fancy that
Millions murdered for a kiss
me quick hat
No backbone, blood and guts
Better keep your big mouth
shut
