Song title: Elvis Costello - Black And White World

Edit By: 216.73.217.165

I was looking at the black and white world
 it seemed so exciting
 if you'd only put me back to back with that girl
 when the night's inviting
 with just a little lighting
 there'll never be days like that again
 when I was just a boy and men were men

you'd never go from moment to moment
 you're the living double of a single fiction
 you're the very colour poets compliment
 cause you feel the fingers friction
 it's a freeze frame, still it's real life
 you don't want to look
 cause you've seen the film and read the book

I was looking at the black and white world
 trying to name some pin-up
 in those days she was just a beautiful girl
 now she's framed and hung up
 I thought she was younger until
 I saw her last night in close detail
 though they all fade away when you're so pale

it's more than just a physical attraction
 starts with a face and ends up a fixation
 but you're never going to feel a fraction
 the way it used to work on your imagination
 when you were looking at a black and white world
