love went mad
Singer:costello, elvis
i've looked at it every way i can
and every chance i've had
love went mad love went mad
you you feel like i feel?
do you have a heart of iron and steel?
are you a man now you wear a man's hat?
are you a man now or are you a rat?
you go to church quiet as a mouse
you're a big cheese now in the workhouse
with these vulgar fractions of the treble clef
i wish you luck with a capital 'f'
a self-made mug is hard to break
a silent partner in someone else's mistake
every day goes by without a hitch
you feel the urge becoming an itch
the boys in blue are hard to catch
they're busy turning piccadilly
but with your fingers in your ears
feeling bright as a button
thinking 'thank god there'll be no more
playing family favourites on a tissue and a comb
in the safety of your own home
