New Lace Sleeves - Elvis Costello[00:00:02]

Bad lovers face to face in the morning[00:00:10]

Shy apologies and polite regrets[00:00:14]

Slow dances that left no warning of[00:00:18]

Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning[00:00:23]

Good manners[00:00:27]

And bad breath get you nowhere[00:00:29]

Even Presidents have newspaper lovers[00:00:33]

Ministers go crawling under covers[00:00:41]

She's no angel[00:00:50]

He's no saint[00:00:54]

They're all covered up with white washed grease paint[00:00:59]

And you say[00:01:05]

The teacher never told you anything but white lies[00:01:07]

But you never see the lies that you believe[00:01:17]

Oh you know you have been captured[00:01:23]

You feel so civilized[00:01:29]

And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves[00:01:34]

The salty lips of the socialite sisters[00:01:47]

With their continental fingers that have[00:01:52]

Never seen working blisters[00:01:56]

Oh I know they've got their problems[00:02:00]

I wish I was one of them[00:02:05]

They say daddy's coming home soon[00:02:10]

With his Sergeant stripes[00:02:19]

And his Empire mug and spoon[00:02:23]

No more fast buck[00:02:27]

And when are they gonna learn their lesson [00:02:32]

When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions [00:02:36]

And you say[00:02:43]

The teacher never told you anything but white lies[00:02:45]

But you never see the lies that you believe[00:02:53]

Oh you know you have been captured[00:02:59]

You feel so civilized[00:03:06]

And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves[00:03:11]
