King Horse
From ElvisCostello

LyricsCheap cut satin and bad perfume Showtime is almost here Teased up by a strip cartoon Laughing up your sleeve Sniggering in your beer He'd seen the bottom of a lot of glasses But he'd never seen love so near He'd seen love get so expensive But he'd never seen love so dear
Chorus: 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 upon a sixpence in the mouth and trousers set Hit the till, ring the bell, never spill a sip And still she knows the kind of tip that she is gonna get A lot of loose exchanges, precious little respect When it's someone else's weekend That's the best you can expect
(Chorus)
So fond of the fabric So fond of fabrication From comic books to tragic Through the heart of complications
Meanwhile back in some secluded spot He says, "Will you please?" and she says, "Stop" If I ever lose this good thing that I've got I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight 'Cause you see I knew that song so long before we met That it means much more than it might
(Chorus)
