Can't Get Arrested
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Sunset and vine
On sunset and vine
Ah on sunset and vine
Have a real good time
Ah on sunset
On sunset and vine
Have a real good time
Ah on sunset
Yeah on sunset
Ah on sunset and vine
You, you can't get arrested
You, you can't get arrested
You, you can't get arrested
You, you can't get arrested
On sunset
Ah ah on sunset
You, you can't get arrested
You, you can't get arrested
Ah on sunset
Ah on sunset
Ah... On sunset
Ah... On sunset
Can't get arrested
Can't get on
