Elvis Costello Shot With His Own Gun Lyrics

Shot With His Own Gun Lyrics

How does it feel now you`ve been undressed
by a man with a mind like the gutter press
So disappointed to find it`s no big sin
Lying skin to skin

Chorus:

Shot with his own gun
Now dad is keeping mum
Shot with his own gun

Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away

What`s on his mind now is anyone`s guess
Losing his touch with each caress
Spending ev`ry evening looking so appealing
He comes without warning
Leaves without feeling

Chorus

On your marks, man, ready, set
Let`s get loaded and forget

The little corporal got in the way
And he got hit by an emotional ricochet
It`s a bit more now than dressing up dolly
Playing house seems so melancholy

Chorus

Oh it`s too sad to be true
Your blue murder`s killing you
