All The Rage — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

1-2-3,2-2-3



The twitching impulses to speak your mind

Ill lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it

Is it in that ugly place thats just behind your face

Where you keep my picture still despite the fact

That you had me replaced



Chorus:

Say "goodbye"

Baby cant you act your age?

You know why

Im going to give it to you straight

Although Ill never be

Unhappy as you want me to be

Still its all the rage



Ill probably play along

Left to my own devices

Spare me the drone of your advice

The sins of garter and gin

Confession may delay

You know the measuring pole

The merry boots of clay

Ive heard it all before

Youll say it anyway



Chorus



Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief

You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief

So dont try to touch my heart, its darker than you think

And dont try to read my mind because its full of disappearing ink



Chorus



Although Ill never be

Unhappy as you want me to be

Still its all the rage
