elvis costello - the deportees club lyrics
the demo of “deportee” has essentially the same lyrics as this earlier version of the song
in the arrivederci roma nightclub, bar and grill
standing in the fibregl-ss ruins watching time stand still
all your troubles you confess
to another faceless backless dress
schnapps chianti porter and ouzo
pernod vodka sambuca i love you so
deportee
tatty beauty talking in riddles
rome burns down everybody’s on the fiddle
two thousand dollars for wife and some cl-ss
a thousand years drowned in a chaser gl-ss
how i wish that she was mine
i could have been a king in six eight time
schnapps chianti porter and ouzo
pernod vodka sambuca i love you so
deportee
it’s a brittle charm but she’s had enough
still she wrote her number on his paper cuff
you don’t know where to start or where to stop
all this pillow talk is nothing more than talking shop
when i came here tonight my pockets were overflowing
they took my return ticket without me even knowing
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
i’m a deportee
