Clubland - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

作词：Elvis Costello

作曲：Elvis Costello

With a handful of backhanders

and a bevy of beauty

You're going off limits going

off duty

Going off the rails going off

with booty

They tell tales of fiction found

on all the criminal types

Lead to a higher ranking man

or a face with thin red stripes

The boys next door the mums

and dads

New weds and nearly-deads

Have you ever been had

in Clubland

In Clubland

There's a piece in someone's

pocket to do the dirty work

You've come to shoot the pony

they've come to do the jerk

They leave him half way to

paradise they leave you half

way to bliss

The ladies' invitation never

seemed like this

The boys next door the mums

and dads

New weds and nearly-deads

Have you ever been had

in Clubland

In Clubland

The long arm of the law slides up

the outskirts of town

Meanwhile in Clubland they are

ready to pull them down

Hey

The right to work is traded in for

the right to refuse admission

Don't pass out now there's

no refund

Did you find out what you

were missing

The crowd is taking forty winks

minus ten percent

You barely get required sleep to

go lingering with contemptment

Thursday to Saturday money's

gone already

Some things come in common

these days

Your hands and work

aren't steady

The boys next door the mums

and dads

New weds and nearly-deads

Have you ever been had

in Clubland

In Clubland

In Clubland

In Clubland

Woah
