Agamemnon Lyrics - New Times - Violent Femmes

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
