Lyrics for White Knuckles by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Trust | | Track: | White Knuckles | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 76 | | | | Lyrics: | White knuckles came down to put the frighteners on
I believe she's the one that he's got his
heart set on
It doesn't matter if your face doesn't fit
There's no charge for changing
it
Oooh ooh
What are you doing
You see right through him
You don't have to
take it when he gets cruel
Chorus:
White knuckles on black and blue skin
(1,4)
You don't have to take it so you just give in
(2,3) He didn't mean to hit her but she kept
laughing
White knuckles sweatin' on the headboard
He never found out what the kisser was
for
Losing face with the boys while she's whispering in his ear
They never found out
why they called it laughing gear
Maybe they weren't loved when they were young
Maybe they
should be hung by their tounges
Oooh ooh
Under the blankets with the body
jerk
He needs her like the axe needs the turkey
Making a mockery of his fancy
footwork
Chorus
There's always someone new to toy with when the penny drops in
the slot
Now it's all petty crime on the news at nine
But it's all she's got
Love on
the never never dreams don't come cheap
I don't close my eyes when I go to
sleep
Oooh ooh
It gets right under your skin
It makes you as miserable as sin
but
you don't have to take it so you just give in
Chorus
Why don't you
come round anymore
Mama said
He's using you
Sister said
I told you so
too
When he goes through your head
You took him to be true | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
