lirik lagu elvis costello the attractions - pidgin english
there’s a young girl with her old man
who’s too sick to mention
she’ll be turning twenty-seven
as she draws her widow’s pension
but he couldn’t catch a common cold
he couldn’t get arrested
too terrified to answer back
too tired to have resisted
many hands make light work
shorthand makes life easy
when he’s out on night work
make sure no one sees me
it all ends up in a slanging match
with body talk and bruises
a change is better than a rest
silly beggars can’t be choosers
one of a thousand pities you can’t categorize
there are ten commandments of love
when will you realize?
there are ten commandments of love
i believe, i trust, i promise
i wish love’s just a throwaway kiss
in this pidgin english
if you’re so wise
use your lips and your eyes
take it to the bridge she sighs
you go cheep, cheep, cheep
between bull’s-eyes and bl-ster
stiff as your poker face
keener than mustard
from your own back yard
to the land of exotica
from the truth society
to neurotic erotica
silence is golden
money talks diamonds and ermine
there’s a word in spanish
italian and german
in sign language, morse code
semaph-r- and gibberish
have you forgotten how to say it
in your pidgin english?
one of a thousand pities you can’t categorize
there are ten commandments of love
when will you realize?
there are ten commandments of love
i believe, i trust, i promise
i wish love’s just a throwaway kiss
in this pidgin english
one of a thousand pities you can’t categorize
there are ten commandments of love
when will you realize?
ps i love you
ps i love you
ps i love you
