paroles de chanson Green Shirt (Demo Version) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

There′s a smart young woman on a light blue screen

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

But you tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it

Better cut off all identifying labels
Before they put you on the torture table
′Cause somewhere in the Quisling Clinic
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening in to the Venus line
She′s 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 don′t 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?

There are are whys in the windows, there are whys in the wall
There are whys in the kitchen and whys in the halls
There are whys on poles and whys on your face
There are whys in the holes coming out all over the place

You tease, and you flirt...
You can please yourself but somebody′s gonna get it
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
