Green Shirt Lyrics & Tabs by Elvis Costello

Green Shirt

guitar chords lyrics

Elvis Costello

Album : Girls Girls GirlsPlayStop

There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
Who comes into my house every night
She takes all the red, yellow, orange and green

And she turns them into black and white
But you tease and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Better cut off all identifying labels
Before they put you on the torture table
'Cause somewhere in the 'Quisling Clinic'
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening in to the Venus line
She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine
But you tease and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt

She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine
But you tease and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Never said, I was a stool pigeon
I never said, I was a diplomat
Everybody is under suspicion
But you don't wanna hear about that
'Cause you tease and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
You tease and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
