Men Called Uncle — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Now theres newsprint all over your face

Well maybe thats why I can read you like a book

Just when I thought I was getting my taste to bite

I go and lose my appetite



Look at the men that youd call uncle

Theyd like to sink their teeth into you

For the pride and the pleasure

And the privilege of having you



If I say youre the one do you think that Im serious

You get that kind of talk from older men

If I say I love you then I must be delirious

So why are you trying to put my temperature up again



Look at the men that youd call uncle

Having a heart attack round your ankles



When you wake up with x-rated eyes

When you wake up still shaking

How can I apologize

As you check your effects and check your reflection

Im so affected in the face of your affection



Look at the men that youd call uncle

Having a heart attack round your ankles



I could swear, I could promise that Ill always be true to you

But we may not live to be so old

I could even say Im going to do something new to you

Now the girls I see just leave me cold



Look at the men that you call uncle...
