Lyrics for Trust by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | New Lace Sleeves | | Track: | Trust | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 76 | | | | Lyrics: | Bad lovers face to face in the morning
Shy apologies and polite regrets
Slow dances
that left no warning of
Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
Good manners and bad
breath get you nowhere
Even presidents have newspaper lovers
Ministers go crawling
under covers
She's no angel
He's no saint
They're all covered up with white
washed grease paint
And you say...
CHORUS:
The teacher never
told you anything but white lies
But you never see the lies
And you believe
Oh
you know you have been captured
You feel so civilized
And you look so pretty in your
new lace sleeves
The salty lips of the socialite sisters
With their
continental fingers that have
never seen working blisters
Oh I know they've got their
problems
I wish I was one of them
They say daddy's coming home soon
With his
sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon
No more fast buck
And
when are they gonna learn their lesson
When are they gonna stop all of these victory
processions
And you say...
