Elvis Costello - Chewing Gum Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • With their cardboard hands by their sides,
  • Heres a ***** man and lady
  • And theyre yours to cut out and keep
  • So you can dress them up maybe
  • They dont know just who they are, or who theyre supposed to be
  • You can make them happy or sad
  • Or assume their identity
  • So here they are in the departure lounge
  • Its the gateway to the east
  • She is just another mail-order bride
  • She doesnt know hes a kinky beast
  • So he gives her a picture of maradona and child
  • She wants to roll and rock
  • As he spills his beer over her, bumps and he
  • Grinds, as he repeats bang-*****
  • Chorus:
  • There must be something that is better than this
  • It starts with a slap and ends up with a kiss
  • Begins with you bawling and it ends up in tears
  • Oh my little one, take that chewing gum out of your ears
  • She might as well be in the jungle
  • She might as well be on the moon
  • Hes away on a business trip, in dusseldorf, but shes becoming immune
  • To the lack of glamour and danger in a west-german city today
  • The nearest she comes to the dynasty he promised her
  • Is a chinese takeaway
  • Chorus
  • Though he only taught her three little words, it
  • Doesnt matter if theyre dirty or clean
  • He can only control what they look like
  • He can never possess what they mean
  • Now he wants to whisper in her ear
  • All the shrinking nothingness
  • But something always comes between them,
  • I wonder if you can guess
  • Chorus
