Shot With His Own Gun Lyrics - Elvis Costello

How does it feel now? You've been undressed 

By a man with a mind like a gutter press 

So disappointed to find it's no big sin 

Lying skin to skin 

Shot with his own gun 

Now, dad is keeping mum 

Shot with his own gun 

Now somebody has to pay 

For the one who got away 

What's on his mind now is anyone's guess 

Losing his touch with each caress 

Spend ev'ry evening looking so appealing 

He comes without warning, leaves without feeling

Shot with his own gun 

Now, dad is keeping mum 

Shot with his own gun 

On your marks, man, ready, set 

Let's get loaded and forget 

The little corporal got in the way 

And he got hit by an emotional ricochet 

It's a bit more now than dressing up dolly 

Playing house seems so melancholy 

Shot with his own gun 

Now, dad is keeping mum 

Shot with his own gun 

Oh, it's too sad to be true 

Your blue murder's killing you
