ELVIS COSTELLO - Charm School lyrics

rate me

Men made out of monkeys<br>Men made into mice<br>Happy days are here again<br>And all the drinks half price<br>A girl with a trick and a man with a calling<br><br>Trying to make a living out of your downfalling<br>Trying to make a living out of anything at all<br>Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel<br>In that charm school<br><br>You and I as lovers<br>Were nothing but a farce<br>Trying to make a silk purse<br>Out of a sow's arse<br>Saying 'why don't you watch me'<br>Hardly speaking sotto voce<br><br>I've got a notion<br>I've got an angle<br>Take your dreams and promises<br>And put them through the mangle<br>They say it's hell to finance too<br>And I just want to romance you<br><br>In this perpetual nightclub<br>I'll be yours eternal<br>Though the hours are long<br>And the noise infernal<br>Just one shameful act or sometimes two<br>We make believe we're making do
