Living in Paradise — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

I dont like those other guys looking at your curves

I dont like you walking round with physical jerks

Everything they say and do is getting on my nerves

Soon the will be lucky to be picking up the perks



cause when they pull the shutters down

And throw up in the dark,

Theyll find that all the dogs outside

Bite much worse than they bark.



Here we are living in paradise,

Living in luxury.

Oh, the thrill is here but it wont last long

You better have your fun before it moves along

And youre already looking for another,

Fool like me.



I call you betty felon cause you are a pretty villain

And I think that I should tell them that youd

Make a pretty killing

cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gate

Saying wed always knew youd make it,

Didnt think youd come this late.



And now its much too dangerous to stop what youve begun

When everyone in paradise carries a gun



[chorus]



Later in the evening when arrangements are made,

Ill be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door.

cause Im the first to know whenever the plans are laid

That never go further than floor to floor.



You think that I dont know the boy that youre touching,

But Ill be at the video and I will be watching



[chorus]
