Elvis Costello – All The Rage Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: Brutal Youth

1-2-3,2-2-3
The twitching impulses to speak your mind
I^,ll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it
Is it in that ugly place that^,s just behind your face
Where you keep my picture still despite the fact
That you had me replaced

[Chorus:]
Say "Goodbye"
Baby can^,t you act your age?
You know why
I^,m going to give it to you straight
Although I^,ll never be
Unhappy as you want me to be
Still it^,s all the rage

I^,ll probably play along
Left to my own devices
Spare me the drone of your advice
The sins of garter and gin
[ All The Rage lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/all-rage/ ]
Confession may delay
You know the measuring pole
The merry boots of clay
I^,ve heard it all before
You^,ll say it anyway

[Chorus]

Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief
So don^,t try to touch my heart, it^,s darker than you think
And don^,t try to read my mind because it^,s full of disappearing ink

[Chorus]

Although I^,ll never be
Unhappy as you want me to be
Still it^,s all the rage
