elvis costello - deportee lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the arrivederci roma nightclub, bar and grill
standing in the fibergl-ss ruins watching time stand still
all your troubles you confess to another faceless, backless dress

[chorus]
schnapps, chianti, porter and ouzo
pernod, vodka, sambuca – i love you so
deportee

[verse 2]
there’s a tattooed beauty talking in riddles
rome burns down and everybody fiddles
deportee
but a thousand dollars won’t buy you a yankee wife, alas
there’s a thousand years of history drowned in this chaser gl-ss
oh how i wish that she was mine
i could have been a king in 6/8 time
deportee

oh, it’s a brittle charm, but she’s had enough
still she wrote her name upon his paper cuff
and you don’t know where to start or where to stop
all this pillow talk is nothing more than finally talking shop

when i came here tonight my pockets were overflowing
they took my return ticket without me even knowing
well, i pray to the saints and all the martyrs
for the secret life of frank sinatra
but none of these things have come to p-ss
in america the law is a piece of -ss
deportee

[chorus]
so it’s schnapps, chianti, porter and ouzo
pernod, vodka, sambuca – i love you so
deportee [x2]
poor deportee
