Agamemnon Lyrics

Violent Femmes Agamemnon

The telephone, telephone
I have an idea
Women always have ideas

Hello
Here is Agamemnon
Here is Agamemnon
Here is Agamemnon
Here is Agamemnon

Wrong connection this is
I am a moralist an anti-militarist
I am against duels
I cannot stand seeing
A fly in rage I cannot look at
A uniform or blood

That woman has seduced me
And now I am done for
That woman has seduced me
And now I am done for

Darling, where shall I
Hide you in a hurry?
Darling, where shall I
Hide you in a hurry?

Darling, where shall I
Hide you in a hurry?
Darling, where shall I
Hide you in a hurry?

Here is Agamemnon
Here is Agamemnon
Here is Agamemnon
Here is Agamemnon

I am coming directly from the trenches
And look forward to a solemn luncheon
I am coming directly from the trenches
And look forward to a solemn luncheon

Oh, my nerves I'm losing my mind
Oh, my nerves I'm losing my mind
This damned telephone
Spoils my favorite position

Now I can start, now I can start
Now I can start, now I can start writing
Now I can start writing, now I can start writing
I can start writing poetry

Now I can start writing poetry
I can, I can start writing poetry I can
Now I can start writing poetry I can
Now I can start writing poetry
I can start writing poetry
