Текст песни Shameless - Elvis Costello

Those blushing beauties mere vain
Spared only by fingers of pain
Deeds done in the darkness of night
Oh, right on the floor where sin lie
Not quite an original scene
Oh, where do I begin?
You probably glaring plea
Miss, will you model for me?

In time when defenses would end
They would stumble right into your will
It's easy for people like you, with gifts that would give unto few
I've had to live out my wings
If that by asking my tits

Shameless
Some of my lovers remain nameless
I'm not like those innocent girls
Butt naked in a necklace of pearls
Blossom, broken, secrets revealed
Amazed and amused that they all unpeeled and
Shameless, shameless

Girls, you think you're better than me
Not much from what I can see
We've all fucked a generous jeweler
Some dress it up with a bag or two
I Jackeline with a well-cut slacks than a bashful girl is born in mask
Acted like I've never been kissed
Said, "Oh well, if you insist"
Bag books that is dirtier a lot, for my time, so I can build up their gocks

Shameless, shameless, shameless, shameless
So keep your Polaroids of your furious flames and your convent girls, with their curious name
I'm not some dark-out beauty in a charcoal sketch
Or your little lapdog with the go fetch

We've all got a secret or two
Lies are expensive and free
What does it say about you
That you wanted a woman like me
Shameless, some of my lovers would quite charm I guess
With whips and pillows and Peacock blooms
Cigarettes with the stranger's fumes, all the pricks, and powders that I consume
I drank away the smallest, I was in every kind of drug I could devour

But, when he moved dose of this passion
Did I call your name and confess 'em
All my lovers, you were the best one
Did I sound like this when I came
Oh, and then again and again
Did you wonder why I was screaming

Did you wonder why I was shaking?
Was I laughing or was I faking?
Maybe I'm just faking still
Take a drink or two if you will
If you start to shrink, take a pill

Shameless
Maybe I'm a mess but my soul is spotless
Run back to your pussy little wife
And your daughter 'cause you bought her this life
I'll come and go as I please
One day, she will be down on her knees

I'm fractured from laughing too loud
I'm bloated but I'm unbound
I've had more than I'm allowed
Worthless, priceless, proud, shameless
