Elvis Costello - Wave A White Flag [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
Take off your shoes, hang up your wings
Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug
Savor the things that sobriety brings
Drain in the last from a jug
But when I hit the bottle, there's no telling what I'll do
Because something deep inside me
Wants to turn you black and blue
I can't resist you, I can't wait
To twist your loving arms till you capitulate
Beat me in the kitchen, and I'll beat you in the hall
There's nothing I love better than a free-for-all
To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends
But when it is all over we will still be friends

[Chorus]
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
Too many people just can't get kissed
But if there's nothing I can do to make amends, baby
Hope you don't murder me

[Bridge]
Oh, was it all right, or was it okay
I'll make it all up to you someday
Oh, but you didn't have to laugh that way[x2]
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Gee, baby, hope you don't murder me
