Lloyd Cole - Can't Get Arrested Lyrics

You've been talking in circles now for years man
Lesson number one is change your attitude
People would like to help you

All you ever wanted was a picture with the queen
Ah, welcome to london
When you've arrived, well you stay or you leave
Don't you know you're quite certain
Nothing is so pretty as it used to be, no indeed

Could you entertain us with a song
With a very special melody
We could sing along
And you know you should be grateful
But I let it pass
'Cause you can't get arrested
But you could kiss my ass
In hollywood, yeah yeah, doo doo doo
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

You've been talking in circles now for years man
Is your foot nailed to the floor or do you like it here
People would like to get to know you

All you ever wanted was a picture with the queen
Ah, welcome to london
When you've arrived, well you stay or you leave
Don't you know you're quite certain
If you decide boy you'll stay on your leash well
We'll reward you quite handsome
When you've arrived, well you stay or you leave
Don't you know you're quite certain
Nothing is so pretty as it used to be, no indeed

Could you entertain us with a song
With a very special melody
We could sing along
Well you know you should be grateful
But I let it pass
'Cause you can't get arrested
You could kiss my ass

You know my first instinct's
To kick you now you're down
And you come waltzing in
Think that you could push me around
Well you know you should be grateful
Should I let it pass
'Cause you can't get arrested
But you could kiss my ass
In hollywood, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo doo-

You've been talking in circles now for years man
Lesson number one is change your attitude
People would like to help you

All you ever wanted was a picture with the queen
Ah, welcome to london
When you've arrived, well you stay or you leave
Don't you know you're quite certain
Nothing is so pretty as it used to be, no indeed

Could you entertain us with a song
With a very special melody
We could sing along
And you know you should be grateful
But I let it pass
'Cause you can't get arrested
But you could kiss my ass
In hollywood, yeah yeah, doo doo doo
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

You've been talking in circles now for years man
