Crimes Of Paris - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

I thought it was you and your optimist's view of the clock

And how it's always another day

Just after twelve o'clock's struck

You said now I only want you

So I don't have to promise

But tiny children in grown-up clothes

Whispered all the crimes of paris

You're not the girl next-door or a girl from france

Or the cigarette-girl in the sizzle hot-pants

All the words of love seem cruel and crass

When you're tough and transparent as armoured glass

You're everywhere girl in an everyday mess

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris

I heard that you fell for the

Hell or to hammersmith blues

In the tiny torn up pieces of his mind

He's irresistible too

It's hard to say now

If he's only stupid or smart

When he crawled through the door

And poured out more of his creeping-jesus heart

You're not the girl next-door or a girl from france

Or the cigarette-girl in the sizzle hot-pants

All the words of love seem cruel and crass

When you're tough and transparent as armoured glass

You're everywhere girl in an everyday mess

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris

And it's all here and now

She hit him with that paper-weight eiffel tower

And I tried to hold on to you

But I don't know how

And I find it hard to swallow good advice

Like going down three times to

Only come up twice come up twice

She's so convenient

He's always stiff as hair-lacquer

It's hard to discover now

He's in love with her

It was her way of getting her own back

You never did anything

She couldn't do on her own

You're as good as your word and

That's no good to her

You'd better leave that kitten alone

You're not the girl next-door or a girl from france

Or the cigarette-girl in the sizzle hot-pants

All the words of love seem cruel and crass

When you're tough and transparent

As armoured glass

You're everywhere girl in an everyday mess

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris

Who'll pay for the crimes of Paris
