Pretty Words |
I ask you nicely |
Get my face slapped under wraps |
Whats going on precisely |
Is there something wrong perhaps? |
Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise) |
Its more like a booby trap than a booby prize |
Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty rifle |
Youre loosening all the screws that hold the hinges of my life |
Fat cats and army brats |
Hep cats and dog tag pawing over girly mags |
Pretty words dont mean much anymore |
I dont mean to be mean much anymore |
All I see are snapshots, bigshots, tender spots |
(1) mug shots, machine slots |
(2) machine slots, mug shots |
till you dont know whats what |
You dont know what you got |
Curious women running after curious men |
Curiosity didnt kill the cat |
It was a poisoned pen |
But theres not much choice (its hobsons choice) |
Between a cruel mouth and a jealous voice |
Got back to london |
Picked a paper from the man |
No words of consolation |
Just cartoons and titter tatter |
Well well, fancy that |
Millions murdered for a kiss me quick hat |
No backbone, blood and guts |
Better keep your big mouth shut |
