Elvis Costello – Any King's Shilling Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: Spike

You^,re a fine one, oh yes you are
You^,re a fine one just like me
And we^,re friends now, oh wouldn^,t you say?
We^,ve been friends now, oh haven^,t we?
Stay at home tonight if you know what^,s good
for you
I can^,t say more it would be telling
For if you don^,t what will become of you
Just isn^,t worth any king^,s shilling
I will answer when they make that call, pull
upon this ragged uniform
Up till now I know it^,s been your trade
Spit and polish the potato parade
Stay at home tonight if you know what^,s good
for you
I can^,t say more it would be telling
For if you don^,t what will become of you
Just isn^,t worth any king^,s shilling

Please don^,t put your silly head in that pretty
soldier^,s hat
[ Any King's Shilling lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/any-kings-shilling/ ]
You^,ve done your duty, that^,s enough of that

I don^,t know if what I^,m doing is right
I don^,t know if you should be forgiving
But for me it seems it means my life
While for you it could just be a living
Stay at home tonight if you know what^,s good
for you
I can^,t say more it would be telling
For if you don^,t what will become of you
Just isn^,t worth any king^,s shilling

Please don^,t put your silly head in that British
soldier^,s hat
You^,ve done your duty that^,s enough of that

You^,re a fine one, oh yes you are
You^,re a fine one, just like me
