Elvis Costello - Green Shirt текст песни

Theres a smart young woman on a light blue screen

Who comes into my house every night.

And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green

And she turns them into black and white.

But you tease, and you flirt

And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt

You can please yourself but somebodys gonna get it

Better cut off all identifying labels

Before they put you on the torture table

cause somewhere in the "quisling clinic"

Theres a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes

Shes listening in to the venus line

Shes picking out names

I hope none of them are mine

But you tease, and you flirt...

Never said I was a stool pigeon

I never said I was a diplomat

Everybody is under suspicion

But you dont wanna hear about that

cause you tease, and you flirt...

Better send a begging letter to the big investigation

Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?

You tease, and you flirt...

You can please yourself but somebodys gonna get it

You can please yourself but somebodys gonna get it
