Fish 'n' Chip Paper
Words & Music by: Elvis Costello
>From the album: TRUST


When Sunday morning dandruff turns out to be confetti
                                                                     
And the cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty

The girl in your dreams would have you up on an under age charge
                                                   
And the man of the moment is the lifer at large

Chorus:
                                
If you've got something to hide, if you've got something to sell
                              
If you've got somebody's pride she might kiss and tell
                                             
Or wind up with a fight fan in the Hammersmith Hotel
                                 
You better speak up now if you want your piece
           
You better speak up now
         
It won't mean a thing later
                                           
Yesterday's news is tomorrow's fish and chip paper


Your girl says she's leaving and this time she really means it
You can just look at the pictures, you don't actually have to read it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

There's a man in the launderette and he's looking through your
underwear
for clues                                                  D
And the milkman is working through the News of the Screws

He says...
(chorus)
