Wave a White Flag — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Take off your shoes, hang up your wings

Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug

Savor the things that sobriety brings

Drain in the last from a jug



But when I hit the bottle, theres no tellin what Ill do

cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue

I cant resist you, I cant wait

To twist your loving arms til you capitulate



Beat me in the kitchen, and Ill beat you in the hall

Theres nothing I love better than a free for all

To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends

But when it is all over we will still be friends



Wave a white flag, put away the pistol

Too many people just cant get kissed

But if theres nothin I can do to make amends, baby

Hope you dont murder me



Oh, was it all right, or was it okay

Ill make it all up to you someday

Oh, but you didnt have to laugh that way

Oh, no, you didnt have to laugh that way



Wave a white flag, put away the pistol

Too many people just cant get kissed

But if theres nothin I can do to make amends, baby

Hope you dont murder me

Gee, baby, hope you dont murder me
