Shot With His Own Gun Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Shot With His Own Gun Lyrics

    How does it feel now you've been undressed
    By a man with a mind like the gutter press
    So disappointed to find it's no big sin
    Lying skin to skin

    Chorus:

    Shot with his own gun
    Now dad is keeping mum
    Shot with his own gun

    Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away

    What's on his mind now is anyone's guess
    Losing his touch with each caress
    Spending ev'ry evening looking so appealing
    He comes without warning
    Leaves without feeling

    Chorus

    On your marks, man, ready, set
    Let's get loaded and forget

    The little corporal got in the way
    And he got hit by an emotional ricochet
    It's a bit more now than dressing up dolly
    Playing house seems so melancholy

    Chorus

    Oh it's too sad to be true
    Your blue murder's killing you
