Elvis Costello - Charm School Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Men made out of monkeys

Men made into mice

Happy days are here again

And all the drinks half price

A girl with a trick and a man with a calling

Trying to make a living out of your downfalling

Trying to make a living out of anything at all

Didnt they teach you anything except how to be cruel

In that charm school

You and I as lovers

Were nothing but a farce

Trying to make a silk purse

Out of a sows arse

Saying why dont you watch me

Hardly speaking sotto voce

Ive got a notion

Ive got an angle

Take your dreams and promises

And put them through the mangle

They say its hell to finance too

And I just want to romance you

In this perpetual nightclub

Ill be yours eternal

Though the hours are long

And the noise infernal

Just one shameful act or sometimes two

We make believe were making do
