Correction Lyrics Big Boys [demo] by Elvis Costello

Back

Lyrics

I am starting to function in the usual way
Everything is so provocative
Very, very temporary
I shall walk out of this place
I shall walk out on you
'Cause you go silly if she's willing
Trying so hard to be like the big boys

So you take her to the pictures
Trying to become a fixture
Inch by inch, trying to reach her
All the way through the second feature
Worrying about your physical fitness
Tell me how you got this sickness
Ooh

Oh, I was caught in the suction
By a face like a truncheon
I was down upon one knee, stroking her vanity
I was stuck on a hammer head
I came alive, then left for dеad
As my face returned to rеd
Choking on my pride and pity

We can talk 'til your face is blue
We can talk, but she'll get to you
After you've been loved and hated
By the ones who watched and waited
Found that they were overrated

She'll be the one when the girls have gone home
She'll be the one when the party's over
She'll be the one that you wished you'd held on to
She'll be the one that it's too late for you to
She'll be the one knows all your history
She'll be the one, so you can cross her off your list

'Cause you try so hard
Well, you try so hard
And you try so hard to be like the big boys
