Uncomplicated Lyrics
Blood and Chocolate
I hope you're satisfied what you have done
You think it's over now
But we've only just begun
I asked for water
And they gave me rose' wine
A horse that knows arithmetic
And a dog that tells your fortune
Chorus: It's in your eyes
Uncomplicated
I want to buy you
A big blue Diamel
Cheap white plastic shoes
That don't walk out and don't let in
I want to show you
How I love you
When you're over me
There's no-one above you
Chorus
You think it's over now
But this is only the beginning
Chorus
I hope you're satisfied what you have done
You think it's over now
But we've only just begun
I asked for water
And they gave me rose' wine
A horse that knows arithmetic
And a dog that tells your fortune
Uncomplicated
A big blue Diamel
Cheap white plastic shoes
That don't walk out and don't let in
How I love you
When you're over me
There's no-one above you
But this is only the beginning

Can't believe there's been no comment on this song. Instead of giving the long-winded analysis, I'll just point you to our recent blog post on the song: http://thishereboogie.com/uncomplicated-elvis-costello-1986/
@thb Ah well that post is long gone, so I'll never get your insights.

I have always wondered what this song is about - the first couple of stanzas are pretty mysterious. But a look at the lyrics makes me think that it is a pretty straightforward love song / relationship song.
