Violent Femmes - Agamemnon lyrics

VIOLENT FEMMES -

Agamemnon

The telephone, the telephone

I have an idea

Women always have ideas

Hello...

Here is Agamemnon

Here is Agamemnon

Who? 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

Darling, where shall I

Hide you in a hurry?

Here is Agamemnon

Here is Agamemnon

I am coming

Directly from the trenches

And look forward

To a solemn luncheon

Oh, my nerves

I'm losing my find

This damned telephone

Spoils my favorite position

And no I can start

Writing poetry again
