Elvis Costello - King of Thieves текст песни

Текст
I had forgotten all about the case of the three pins

They said I must be cracked

Until the brown paper parcel landed on my welcome mat

Even the pretty secretaries who wouldnt even

Let me hang my hat

All recognize my handwriting

And return to sender as a matter of fact

If I were you Id change my name again

They dont care what they do to you believe me

This is the coronation of the king of thieves

His occupation is the king of thieves

He can steal more than you can save

You can take him on, but youre not that brave

Ill tell your fortune in a minute or two

I might even tell you what comes next

The moguls want a human sacrifice

And look at that girl, young hungry and perplexed

They took away the best years of her life

Ah but its all in good fun

And if you kept you nose clean

You can laugh now at the caring things theyve done

Ill write this story down, but youll never guess the

Final twist

Blow the whistle on the whole design

As they find my name on that fatal mailing list

I hear the clatter of a typewriter

Another rookie eating up the reams

I think its time to place my feet under the desk

And put my mark on another mans dreams

This is the coronation of the king of thieves

And look at that girl

Look at that girl

Look at that girl
