Nick Lowe - Green Shirt lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen Who comes into my house every night And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green And she turns them into black and white [Chorus] But you tease, and you flirt And you shine all the bu*tons on your green shirt You can please yourself but somebody's going to get it [Verse 2] Better cut off all identifying labels Before they put you on the torture table Because somewhere in the "Quisling Clinic" There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes She's listening in to the Venus line She's picking out names I hope none of them are mine [Chorus] [Verse 3] Never said I was a stool pigeon I never said I was a diplomat Everybody is under suspicion But you don't want to hear about that [Chorus] [Verse 4] Better send a begging letter to the big investigation Who put these fingerprints on my imagination? [Chorus] But you tease, and you flirt And you shine all the bu*tons on your green shirt You can please yourself but somebody's going to get it[x3]
