Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Fish 'n' Chip Paper lyrics

When Sunday morning dandruff turns out to be confetti And the cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty The girl of your dreams would have you up on an underage charge And the man of the moment is a lifer at large If you've got something to hide, if you've got something to sell If you've got somebody's bride, she might kiss and tell Or wind up with a fat man in a Hammersmith Hotel You better speak up now if you want your piece You better speak up now, it won't mean a thing later Yesterday's news is tomorrow's fish 'n' chip paper Your girl says she's leaving and this time she really means it You can just look at the pictures, you don't actually have to read it Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh There's a man in the launderette and he's looking through your underwear for clues And the milkman is working through the News of the Screws He says... If you've got something to hide, if you've got something to sell If you've got somebody's bride, she might kiss and tell Or wind up with a fat man in a Hammersmith Hotel You better speak up now if you want your piece You better speak up now, it won't mean a thing later Yesterday's news is tomorrow's fish and chip paper If you've got something to hide, if you've got something to sell If you've got somebody's bride, she might kiss and tell Or wind up with a fat man in a Hammersmith Hotel
