elvis costello - charm school lyrics
men made out of monkeys, men made into mice
happy days are here again
and all the drinks half price
a girl with a trick and a man with a calling
trying to make a living out of your down falling
trying to make a living out of anything at all
didn’t they teach you anything, except how to be cruel
in that charm school?
you and i as lovers were nothing but a farce
trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s -rs-
saying, “why don’t you watch me”
hardly speaking sotto voce
trying to make a living out of your down falling
trying to make a living out of anything at all
didn’t they teach you anything, except how to be cruel
in that charm school?
i’ve got a notion, i’ve got an angle
take your dreams and promises
and put them through the mangle
they say it’s h-ll to finance too
and i just want to romance you
in this perpetual nightclub i’ll be yours eternal
though the hours are long and the noise infernal
just one shameful act or sometimes two
we make believe we’re making do
trying to make a living out of your down falling
trying to make a living out of anything at all
didn’t they teach you anything, except how to be cruel
in that charm school?
didn’t they teach you anything, except how to be cruel
in that charm school, in that charm school?
