Patty Don't You Put Me Down Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

Patty don't tell me one thing and change your mind 

We might be in bed together but the deal's not signed 

They say you collect shrunken heads, would you like to have mine? 

Patty Don't You Put Me Down 

Don't colour me cruel 

You're so used to skimming the ace and palming the jack 

The right hand giving and the left hand taking it back 

At society functions they probably give you more slack 

Patty Don't You Put Me Down 

Don't colour me cruel 

You can stamp all you want, but this ain't television 

I can't fix it all with a small incision 

It's a meltdown you're having, not nuclear fission 

There's no room service at the seaman's mission 

In your ten watt world it's beyond any pleasure you know 

To stick your fingers in the socket, and give yourself a glow 

Keep that up and they might make you part of the show 

Patty Don't You Put Me Down 

Don't colour me cruel
