New Lace Sleeves
Words & Music by: Elvis Costello
From the album: TRUST
C
Bad lovers face to face in the morning
Am
Shy apologies and polite regrets
F
Slow dances that left no warning of
Dm
Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
F G C
Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere
C Am
Even presidents have newspaper lovers
F Fm
Ministers go crawling under covers
C Am
She’s no angel
C F
He’s no saint
C Am F
They’re all covered up with white washed grease paint
(alt: white washed newsprint)
G
And you say…
CHORUS:
C F G Am
The teacher never told you anything but white lies
Bb C/Bb
But you never see the lies
F/A Fm/Ab
And you believe
Bb/Ab C/G
Oh you know you have been captured
F Am/E
You feel so civilized
D F C
And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
C
The salty lips of the socialite sisters
Am
With their continental fingers that have
F
Never seen working blisters
Dm
Oh I know they’ve got their problems
F G
I wish I was one of them
C Am
They say daddy’s coming home soon
F Fm
With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon
C Am
No more fast buck
C F
And when are they gonna learn their lesson
C Am F G
When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions
And you say…
(Chorus)
C Bb
Look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
