  • Elvis Costello Pidgin English Lyrics

           

    There's a young girl with her old man who's too sick to mention

    She'll be turning twenty seven as she draws her widow's pension

    But he couldn't catch a common cold he couldn't get arrested

    Too terrified to answer back

    Too tired to have resisted



    Many hands make light work

    Shorthand makes life easy

    When he's out on night work

    Make sure no one sees me

    It all ends up in a slanging match with body talk and bruises

    A change is better than a rest

    Silly beggars can't be choosers



    One of a thousand pities you can't categorize

    There are ten commandments of love

    When will you realise

    There are ten commandments of love

    I believe, I trust, I promise, I wish love's just a throwaway kiss

    In this Pidgin English



    If you're so wise use your lips and your eyes

    Take it to the bridge she sighs



    You go cheep cheep cheep between bulleyes and bluster

    Stiff as your poker face

    Keener than mustard

    From your own back yard to the land of exotica

    From the truth society to neurotic erotica



    Silence is golden

    Money talks diamonds and ermine

    There's a word in Spanish

    Italian and German

    In sign language, morse code, semaphore and gibberish

    Have you forgotten how to say it

    In your Pidgin English?



    (chorus)



    PS I love you
