Elvis Costello - White Knuckles lyrics
White knuckles came down to put the frighteners on I believe she's the one that he's got his heart set on It doesn't matter if your face doesn't fit There's no charge for changing it Oooh ooh What are you doing You see right through him You don't have to take it when he gets cruel Chorus: White knuckles on black and blue skin (1,4) You don't have to take it so you just give in (2,3) He didn't mean to hit her but she kept laughing White knuckles sweatin' on the headboard He never found out what the kisser was for Losing face with the boys while she's whispering in his ear They never found out why they called it laughing gear Maybe they weren't loved when they were young Maybe they should be hung by their tounges Oooh ooh Under the blankets with the body jerk He needs her like the axe needs the turkey Making a mockery of his fancy footwork Chorus There's always someone new to toy with when the penny drops in the slot Now it's all petty crime on the news at nine But it's all she's got Love on the never never dreams don't come cheap I don't close my eyes when I go to sleep Oooh ooh It gets right under your skin It makes you as miserable as sin but you don't have to take it so you just give in Chorus Why don't you come round anymore Mama said He's using you Sister said I told you so too When he goes through your head You took him to be true |
