King Horse
Lyricist:Elvis Costello
Cheap cut satin and bad perfume Showtime is almost here Tears stop by your strength Caught you laughing up your sleeve Sniggering in your beer
Seen the bottom of a lot of glasses But he's never seen love so near He'd seen love get so expensive But he'd never seen love so dear
Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force
She can turn a pot of sixpence In the mouth and trouser set Hit the till, ring the bill, never spill a sip
And still she knows the kind of tip She is going to get A lot of loose exchanges Precious little respect
But if someone else is weakened That's the best that you can expect
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force
So fine knit a fabric So fine a fabrication From comic books to tragic To the art of conversation
Meanwhile back in some secluded spot He says, 'Will you please' and she says, 'Stop' If I ever lose this good thing that I got I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight
You see I knew that song so long before we met That it means much more than it might
Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force
Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all king horse Between tenderness and brute force
