[00:00:00] Pretty Words - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:01] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:02] I ask you nicely

[00:00:04] Get my face slapped under wraps

[00:00:12] Whats going on precisely

[00:00:15] Is there something wrong perhaps

[00:00:21] Surprise surprise surprise surprise

[00:00:24] It's more like a booby trap than a booby prize

[00:00:31] Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty rifle

[00:00:41] Youre loosening all the screws that hold

[00:00:45] The hinges of my life

[00:00:50] Fat cats and army brats

[00:00:53] Hep cats and dog tag pawing over girly mags

[00:01:01] Pretty words dont mean much anymore

[00:01:08] I dont mean to be mean much anymore

[00:01:13] All I see are snapshots bigshots

[00:01:17] Tender spots

[00:01:19] Mug shots

[00:01:20] Machine slots

[00:01:22] Till you dont know whats what

[00:01:23] You dont know what you got

[00:01:29] Curious women running after curious men

[00:01:39] Curiosity didn't kill the cat

[00:01:41] It was a poisoned pen

[00:01:47] But theres not much choice

[00:01:49] It's hobsons choice

[00:01:50] Between a cruel mouth and a jealous voice

[00:01:57] Got back to London

[00:01:59] Picked a paper from the man

[00:02:07] No words of consolation

[00:02:10] Just cartoons and titter tatter

[00:02:15] Well well fancy that

[00:02:19] Millions murdered for a kiss me quick hat

[00:02:22] No backbone blood and guts

[00:02:25] Better keep your big mouth shut

[00:02:31] Pretty words don't mean much anymore

[00:02:37] I don't mean to be mean much anymore

[00:02:42] All I see are snapshots bigshots

[00:02:46] Tender spots

[00:02:48] Machine slots mug shots

[00:02:51] Till you don't know whats what

[00:02:53] You don't know what you got

[00:02:56] You don't know what you got

[00:02:59] You don't know what you got
