King Horse [demo] Elvis Costello

Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

Cheap 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 near

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

Oh-oh-oh

She can turn upon a sixpence in the mouth-and-trousers set
Hit the till, ring the bill, and never spill a sip
And still she knows the kind of tip that she is gonna get
A lotta loose exchanges, precious little respect
When it's someone else's weekend, that's the best you can expect

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
