Elvis Costello - No Hiding Place Lyrics
In the not very distant futureWhen everything will be freeThere won't be any cute secretsLet alone any noveltyYou can say anything you want toIn your fetching cloak of anonymityAre you feeling out of breath now?In your desperate pursuit of infamyTwo lovers rocking up and downIn an elevator15 minutes laterThey'll make a killing in the marketThey know how to work itOn that close circuitMy, my, it's a terrible disgraceYou'll find these days that there'sNo Hiding PlaceHow proud you areYou got the knackOf howling in a vacuumWhatever I said about youI didn't say it behind your backI paid for my immortal sinsI know the enemy within youAs it seems these daysThere is no hiding placeNext time someone wants to hurt youOr set alight your effigyDon't call on me to help you outDon't come crying to me for sympathyYou stay there with your daubs and scratchesWhile I summon up the red machineI'll be handing somebody matchesAnd carrying a can of keroseneWalk up to meAnd say what you saidLet's see how brave you areWhen I'm about this farYou sit in judgment and *****Well, baby that's richYou're nothing but a snitchMy, my, it's a terrible disgraceMy, my, it's a terrible disgraceMy, my, it's a terrible disgraceYou'll find these days that there'sNo Hiding Place
