Crocodile Tears and the Velvet Cosh

Lyrics

I take it as read that the mood is blue It's ghost written all over your face I read you like a book Seeing through Without ever losing my place Crocodile tears falling down That kind of water doesn't wash You pulled the wool over my tired eyes You beat me up with the velvet cosh We're on the rifle range shooting moving targets in the dark You make a high drama out of soap and then you kiss me like a shark The veneer has cracked, now you resemble a tree stripped of its bark My gullibility, your only hope in this dark A string of words like a hangman's noose Strung like a charm around your swans neck Foot in mouth and swinging high As Miss Goody Two Shoes leaves the deck The play you're in is right up your street Narrow, twisting and only one way Your delivery line is dead on arrival It's not a typical "High Infidelity" Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh The velvet cosh Crocodile tears And the velvet cosh Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh Crocodile tears and the velvet cosh
