Luxembourg Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Luxembourg Lyrics

    Dressed up like a dog's dinner
    Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
    If this is a dog's life
    Then you're the cat's clothes
    They hire out your sons
    And hire out your daughters
    The man from abroad says he's already bought her
    And now you look like a lover but you're only a tourist

    Chorus:
    You're either talking or yawning
    You didn't listen to a thing you heard
    Don't start your morning moaning or you might wake up in luxembourg

    You get over
    You're worried by her body
    She's worryin' about her bodily odour
    You pull off
    The pull over
    You say that you love her when you really loathe her
    Serves you right now she wants you to feed her and clothe her

    Chorus

    They're smiling sweetly while they're looking daggers
    Kick you where it really matters
    Send all your friends to coventry
    And look for your name in last night's obituaries

    If you've got the deutschmarks
    If you've got the yen, then
    You get the shirt off her back and the clock off big ben
    Somebody's soft touch
    Struck all these bargains
    In the drinking clubs with the council men making
    Plans to put lead back in their pencils again

    Chorus
