I ask you nicely
Get my face slapped under wraps
What s going on precisely
Is there something wrong perhaps?
Surprisesurprise (surprisesurprise)
It s more like a booby trap than a booby prize
Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty rifle
You re loosening all the screws that hold the hinges of my life
Fat cats and army brats
Hep cats and dog tag pawing over girly mags
Chorus:
Pretty words don t mean much anymore
I don t mean to be mean much anymore
All I see are snapshotsbigshotstender spots
(1) mug shotsmachine slots
(2) machine slotsmug shots
Till you don t know what s what
You don t know what you got
Curious women running after curious men
Curiosity didn t kill the cat
It was a poisoned pen
But there s not much choice (it s Hobson s choice)
Between a cruel mouth and a jealous voice
Got back to London
Picked a paper from the man
No words of consolation
Just cartoons and titter tatter
Well wellfancy that
Millions murdered for a kiss me quick hat
No backboneblood and guts
Better keep your big mouth shut
Chorus
