New Lace Sleeves - song lyrics

Bad lovers face to face in the morning
Shy apologies and polite regrets
Slow dances that left no warning of
Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere
Even presidents have newspaper lovers
Ministers go crawling under covers
She's no angel
He's no saint
They're all covered up with white washed grease paint
And you say...

The teacher never told you anything but white lies
But you never see the lies
And you believe
Oh you know you have been captured
You feel so civilized
And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

The salty lips of the socialite sisters
With their continental fingers that have
Never seen working blisters
Oh I know they've got their problems
I wish I was one of them
They say daddy's coming home soon
With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon

No more fast buck
And when are they gonna learn their lesson
When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions
And you say...

The teacher never told you anything but white lies
But you never see the lies
And you believe
Oh you know you have been captured
You feel so civilized
And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

Packing while you're asleep You were the catalyst I don't know what it is about how you breathe About how you breathe I want to be alone Hate it that no one knows You're good to everyone All them but me All them but me And if you hear me Leaving in the morning Could you just pretend that It was only wind? 'Cause I can't love you Even if I want to Got a lot to work through You don't know where I've been It's been a long time coming It's been a long time coming It's been a long time coming It's been a long time coming Say something sweet to me It never meant a thing Used to the turbulence I wore long sleeves I wore long sleeves I fought 'til you tethered me Swept under surfaces Never enough of it You didn't think You didn't think If you hear me Leaving in the morning Could you please pretend that It was only wind? 'Cause I can't love you Even if I want to Got a lot to work through You don't know where I've been It's been a long time coming It's been a long time coming It's been a long time coming It's been a long time coming It's been a long time coming I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down I'm coming down, I'm coming down

(Written by Tom Waits) You used to dream yourself away each night To places that you'd never been On wings made of wishes That you whispered to yourself Back when every night the moon and you Would sweep away to places That you knew Where you would never get the blues Well now, whiskey gives you wings To carry Each one of your dreams And the moon does not belong to you But I believe That your heart keeps young dreams Well, I've been told To keep from ever growing old And a heart that has been broken Will be stronger when it mends Don't let the blues stop you singing Darling, you've only got a broken wing Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow Hang on to my rainbow Hang on to my rainbow sleeves

With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty You're going off limits, going off duty Going off the rails, going off with booty They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? There's a piece in someone's pocket to do the dirty work You've come to shoot the pony, they've come to do the jerk They leave him half way to paradise They leave you half way to bliss The ladies' invitation never seemed like this The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? The long arm of the law Slides up the outskirts of town Meanwhile in Clubland They are ready to pull them down Hey The right to work is traded in For the right to refuse admission Don't pass out now, there's no refund (When) Did you find out what you were missing? The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment Thursday to Saturday, money's gone already Some things come in common these days Your hands and work aren't steady The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland?

Born in the middle of a second big baby boom Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon Now I'm looking for a little girl, I wonder where she's gone Big money for families having more than one Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity They shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around Whatever happened to the pride of the nation? They say: "Just wait until you break formation" She was sitting pretty on a velvet cushion But her bedroom eyes were like a button she was pushing She said: "When they get to Dover they'll be be taking over" I said I'd come to her defense and then she pulled me over Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity They shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around I'm in the foxhole, I'm down in the trench I'd be a hero but I can't stand the stench The Fitness Institute was full of General Motormen And the "Hello House of Beauty" wouldn't stand a chance with them The chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector I'd like to be his funeral director Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity They shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around Please don't turn around Please don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around

We're all going on a summer holiday Vigilante's coming out to follow me Heard somebody say, they're out to collar me Anybody wanna swallow me? Takes two to tumble, it takes two to tango Speak up, don't mumble if you're in the combo On the beat, on the beat Till a man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ" See your friends in the state their in See your friends getting under their skin See your friends getting taken in Well, if you only knew the things you do to me I'd do anything to confuse the enemy There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me Take it easy, I think you're bending me I've been a bad boy with the standard leader My neighbor's revving up his Vaux hall Viva On the beat, on the earth beat Till a man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ" See your friends walking down the street See your friends never quite complete See your friends getting under their feet Oh, I don't want to disease you But I'm no good with machinery Oh, I don't wanna freeze you Stop looking at the scenery I keep thinkin' about your mother Oh, I don't wanna lick them I don't wanna be a lover I just wanna be your victim I don't go out much at night I don't go out much at all Did you think you were the only one Who was waiting for a call? On the beat, on the beat, on the earth beat Till a man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ" See your friends treat me like a stranger See your friends despite all the arrangements See your friends, nothing here has changed Just the beat, just the beat, just the beat, just the beat

Nice girls, not one with a defect Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct Red dogs under illegal legs She looks so good that he gets down and begs She is watching the detectives "Ooh, it's so cute" She's watching the detectives When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart Long shot of that jumping sign Invisible shivers running down my spine Cut to baby taking off her clothes Closeup of the sign that says "we never close" You snatch a chill and you match a cigarette She pulls your eyes out with a face like a magnet I don't know how much more of this I can take She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake She is watching the detectives "Oh, he's so cute" She is watching the detectives Oh, and they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart You think you're alone until you realize you're in it Now baby's here to stay, love is here for a visit They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit Someone's scratching at the window, I wonder, who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away Just like watching the detectives Don't get cute Just like watching the detectives I get so angry when the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart Watching the detectives It's just like watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives

So this is where he came to hide When he ran from you In a private detective overcoat And dirty dead man's shoes The pretty things of Knightsbridge Lying for a minister of state Is a far cry from the nod and wink Here at traitor's gate 'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around To murder my love is a crime But will you still love A man out of time? There's a twopenny ha'penny millionaire Looking for a fourpenny one With a tight grip on the short hairs Of the public imagination But for his private wife and kids somehow Real life becomes a rumor Days of Dutch courage Just three French letters and a German sense of humor He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge He stands to be insulted, and he pays for the privilege To murder my love is a crime But will you still love A man out of time? The biggest wheels of industry Retire sharp and short And the after-dinner overtures Are nothing but an afterthought Somebody's creeping in the kitchen There's a reputation to be made Whose nerves are always on a knife's edge Who's up late polishing the blade Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning To murder my love is a crime But will you still love A man out of time? Will you still love A man out of time? Will you still love A man out of time? Ooh

Don't say you love me when it's just a rumour Don't say a word if there is any doubt. Sometimes I think that love is just a tumour; You've got to cut it out. You say you're sorry for the things that you've done. You say you're sorry but you know you don't mean it. I wouldn't worry. I had so much fun. Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being It's you Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue It's you Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue Oh yeah. Get to the slot machine almost dead on arrival Just hit me one more time with that live wire Maybe they told you you were only a girl in a million You say I've got no feelings; This is a good way to kill them. Select the control and then insert the token You wanna throw me away but I'm not broken. You've got a lot to say. Well I'm not joking. There are some words they don't allow to be spoken. Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being It's you Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue
