Any King's Shilling - Elvis Costello

作词：D.P.A. Mac Manus

作曲：D.P.A. Mac Manus

You're a fine one oh yes you are

You're a fine one just like me

And were friends now

oh wouldn't you say

Weve been friends now oh haven't we

Stay at home tonight if you know

what's good for you

I can't say more it would be telling

For if you don't what will become of you

Just isn't worth any kings shilling

I will answer when they make

that call pull upon this ragged uniform

Up til now I know it's been your trade

Spit and polish the potato parade

Stay at home tonight if you know

what's good for you

I can't say more it would be telling

For if you don't what will become of you

Just isn't worth any kings shilling

I don't know if what I'm doing is right

I don't know if you should be forgiving

But for me it seems it means my life

While for you it could just be a living

Stay at home tonight if you know

what's good for you

I can't say more it would be telling

For if you don't what will become of you

Just isn't worth any kings shilling

Please don't put your silly head

in that british soldiers hat

Youve done your duty

that's enough of that

You're a fine one oh yes you are

You're a fine one just like me
