Versurile Elvis Costello - American Without Tears
Versuri American Without Tears
Outside in New Orleans the heat was almost
frightening
But my hotel room as usual was freezing and
unkind
On TV they prosecute anyone who's exciting
So I put on my overcoat and went down to find
In Revlon and Crimpelene they captured my heart
To the strain of a piano and a cocktail murderess
She was singing that It's Too Late, I agreed with
that part
For two English girls who had changed their
address
[chorus]
Now it seems we've been crying for years and for
years
Now I don't speak any English, just American
without tears
Just American without tears
One had been a beauty queen and the other was her
friend
They had known rogues and rascals and showbiz
impresarios
While the boys were licking Hitler they had
something to defend
>From men armed with chewing gum and fine nylon
hose
By a bicycle factory as they sounded the siren
And returned into the dancehall she knew he was
the one
Though he wasn't tall or handsome she laughed
when he told her
I'm the Sheriff of Nottingham and this is Little
John
[chorus]
At a dock in Southampton full of tearful goodbyes
Newsreel commentators said Cheerio, G.I. brides
Soon they'll be finding the cold facts and lies
New words for suspenders and young girls
backsides
Now I'm in America and running from you
Like my grandfather before me walked the streets
of New York
And I think of all the women I pretend mean more
than you
When I open my mouth and I can't seem to talk
Now it seems we've been crying for years and for
years
Now I don't speak any English just American
without tears
Just American without tears
