Testo di Charm School

Men made out of monkeys Men made into mice Happy days are here again And all the drinks half price A girl with a trick and a man with a calling Trying to make a living out of your downfalling Trying to make a living out of anything at all Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel In that charm school You and i as lovers Were nothing but a farce Trying to make a silk purse Out of a sow's arse Saying 'why don't you watch me' Hardly speaking sotto voce I've got a notion I've got an angle Take your dreams and promises And put them through the mangle They say it's hell to finance too And i just want to romance you In this perpetual nightclub I'll be yours eternal Though the hours are long And the noise infernal Just one shameful act or sometimes two We make believe we're making do
