Elvis Costello & The Attractions - The Loved Ones текст песни

Dont get smart or sarcastic
He snaps back just like elastic
Spare us the theatrics and the verbal gymnastics
We break wise guys just like matchsticks
What would the loved ones say
Your pride and joy is all blown up What would the loved ones say
The bride and boy are barely grown up Youre not my particular poison
Ive got nothing against you myself
You could have been a danger to the boys and girls
Now youre a danger to yourself
Oh what would the loved ones say
What would the loved ones say
Oh what would the loved ones say
What would the loved ones say
The ugly little scenes run round your bed
The ugly little dreams you get the needle and no thread
They stitched you up this time
They say youll do They bitch about your pretty face turning ugly on you
The butcher the baker and the bassline maker
Say you can leave her I can take her
You live your whole life like a minute or two later
One day its going to end sooner than greater
What would the loved ones say
Hell be remembered young and pretty
What would the loved ones say
Now hes a hit in every city
Now theres a name well never forget
Theres one born every minute
Dont pin a medal on me yet
They might be waiting for you
Pps I love you
