Elvis Costello.....Sweating for England. Classic Punk-Ska Fusion. When Elvis Costello was good. Jobs a good un.
But he can't be wounded when he's got no Heart....
Nice girls, not one with a defect Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct Red dogs under illegal legs She looks so good that he gets down and begs
She is watching the detectives "Ooh, he's so cute" She is watching the detectives When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
Long shot at that jumping sign Invisible shivers running down my spine Cut to baby taking off her clothes Close-up of the sign that says "We never close" He snatches at you and you match his cigarette She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet I don't know how much more of this I can take She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake
She is watching the detectives "Ooh, he's so cute" She is watching the detectives Oh when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit Someone's scratching at the window, I wonder who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away
Just like watching the detectives Don't get cute Just like watching the detectives I get so angry when the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
Watching the detectives It's just like watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives
Watching the detectives Watching the detectives They're watching the detectives Watching the detectives

Just a note: This is one of my favorite threads of all time. I just love the musical diversity here!
