The Beat (Live) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/The Attractions

Written by：Elvis Costello

We're all going on a summer holiday

Vigilantes coming out to follow me

Heard somebody say they're out to collar me

Anybody want to swallow me

It takes two to tumble it takes two to tango

Speak up don't mumble if you're in the combo

On the beat on the a beat

Till a man comes along and he says

Have you been a good boy never played with your toy

Though you never enjoy such a pleasure to employ

See your friends in the state they're in

See your friends getting under their skin

See your friends getting taken in

Well if you only knew the things you do to me

I'd do anything to confuse the enemy

There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me

Take it easy I think you're bending me

I've been a bad boy with the standard leader

My neighbor's revving up his Valhalla viva

On the beat on the a beat

Till a man comes along and he says

Have you been a good boy never played with your toy

Though you never enjoy such a pleasure to employ

See your friends walking down the street

See your friends never quite complete

See your friends getting under their feet

Oh I don't want to disease you

But I'm no good with machinery

Oh I don't want to freeze you

Stop looking at the scenery

I keep thinking about your mother

Oh I don't want to lick them

I don't want to be a lover

I just want to be your victim

I don't go out much at night

I don't go out much at all

Did you think you were the only one

Who was waiting for a call

On the beat on the beat on the a beat

Till a man comes along and he says

Have you been a good boy never played with your toy

Though you never enjoy such a pleasure to employ

See your friends treat me like a stranger

See your friends despite all the arrangements

See your friends nothing here has changed

Just the beat just the beat just the beat just the beat
