Elvis Costello - Man Out Of Time Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • So this is where he came to hide
  • When he ran from you
  • In a private detectives overcoat
  • And dirty dead mans shoes
  • The pretty things of knightsbridge
  • Lying for a minister of state
  • Is a far cry from the nod and wink
  • Here at traitors gate
  • cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
  • And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around
  • To murder my love is a crime
  • But will you still love
  • A man out of time
  • Theres a tuppeny hapenny millionaire
  • Looking for a fourpenny one
  • With a tight grip on the short hairs
  • Of the public imagination
  • But for his private wife and kids somehow
  • Real life becomes a rumour
  • Days of dutch courage
  • Just three french letters and a german sense of humour
  • Hes got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
  • He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege
  • (chorus)
  • The biggest wheels of industry
  • Retire sharp and short
  • And the after dinner overtures
  • Are nothing but an after thought
  • Somebodys creeping in the kitchen
  • Theres a reputation to be made
  • Whose nerves are always on a knifes edge
  • Whos up late polishing the blade
  • Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
  • You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning
  • (chorus)
