Wave A White Flag Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Wave A White Flag Lyrics

    Take off your shoes, hang up your wings
    Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug
    Savor the things that sobriety brings
    Drain in the last from a jug

    But when i hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what i'll do
    'cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue
    I can't resist you, i can't wait
    To twist your loving arms 'til you capitulate

    Beat me in the kitchen, and i'll beat you in the hall
    There's nothing i love better than a free for all
    To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends
    But when it is all over we will still be friends

    Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
    Too many people just can't get kissed
    But if there's nothin' i can do to make amends, baby
    Hope you don't murder me

    Oh, was it all right, or was it okay
    I'll make it all up to you someday
    Oh, but you didn't have to laugh that way
    Oh, no, you didn't have to laugh that way

    Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
    Too many people just can't get kissed
    But if there's nothin' i can do to make amends, baby
    Hope you don't murder me
    Gee, baby, hope you don't murder me
