elvis costello - king horse lyrics

Loading...

cheap cut satin and bad perfume
showtime is almost here
tears stop by your strength
caught you laughing up your sleeve
sn-gg-ring in your beer

seen the bottom of a lot of gl-sses
but he’s never seen love so near
he’d seen love get so expensive
but he’d never seen love so dear

now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force
now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force

she can turn a pot of sixpence
in the mouth and trouser set
hit the till, ring the bill, never spill a sip

and still she knows the kind of tip
she is going to get
a lot of loose exchanges
precious little respect

but if someone else is weakened
that’s the best that you can expect

now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force
now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force

so fine knit a fabric
so fine a fabrication
from comic books to tragic
to the art of conversation

meanwhile back in some secluded spot
he says, “will you please” and she says, “stop”
if i ever lose this good thing that i got
i never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight

you see i knew that song so long before we met
that it means much more than it might

now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force
now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force

now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force
now i know that you’re all king horse
between tenderness and brute force
