Intro
There's a young girl with her old man who's too sick to ment ion
She'll be turning twenty seven as she draws her wi dow's pension
But he couldn't catch a common cold he couldn't get ar rested
Too terrified t o answer back
Too tired to have r esisted
Many hands make li ght work
S horthand makes life easy
W hen he's out on night work
M ake sure no one sees me
I t all ends up in a slanging match with body talk and bruises
A change is better than a rest
Silly beggars can't be choosers
Chorus
One of a thousand pities you can't ca tegorize
There are ten commandme nts of love
When will you re alise
There are ten commandments of love
I believe, I trust, I promise, I wish love's just a throwaway kiss
I n this Pidgin English
If you're so wise use your lips and your eyes
T ake it to the bridge she sighs
You go cheep cheep cheep between bulls-eyes and blus ter
Stiff as your poke r face
Keener than musta rd
>From your own back yard to the lan d of exotica
>From the truth society to neurot ic erotica
Silence is golde n
M oney talks diamonds and ermine
There's a word in Spanish
I talian and German
I n sign language, morse code, semaphore and gibberish
H ave you forgotten how to say it
In your Pidgin English?
(chorus)
P S I love you
(and so on . . . )
