Elvis Costello - Pretty Words Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I ask you nicely
  • Get my face slapped under wraps
  • Whats going on precisely
  • Is there something wrong perhaps?
  • Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise)
  • Its more like a *****y trap than a *****y prize
  • Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty rifle
  • Youre loosening 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 dont mean much anymore
  • I dont 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 dont know whats what
  • You dont know what you got
  • Curious women running after curious men
  • Curiosity didnt kill the cat
  • It was a poisoned pen
  • But theres not much choice (its hobsons 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
  • Chorus
