Elvis Costello - Green Shirt [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
Who comes into my house every night
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
And she turns them into black and white

[Chorus]
But you tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's going to get it

[Verse 2]
Better cut off all identifying labels
Before they put you on the torture table
Because somewhere in the "Quisling Clinic"
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening in to the Venus line
She's picking out names
I hope none of them are mine

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Never said I was a stool pigeon
I never said I was a diplomat
Everybody is under suspicion
But you don't want to hear about that

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?

[Chorus]
But you tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's going to get it[x3]
