Watching The Detectives(Live) - Elvis Costello/The Imposters

作词：Elvis Costello

作曲：Elvis Costello

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

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 of that jumping sign

Visible shivers running down my spine

Cut the baby taking off her clothes

Close up of the sign that says

We never close

You snatch a tune

You a match a 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

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

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

Watching the detectives

Don't get cute

Watching the detectives

I get so angry when the teardrops start

But he can't be wounded

'Cause he's got no heart

Heart

It's just like watching the detectives

Watching the detectives

Watching the detectives
