Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Twenty-Five to Twelve
You say you don't desire meYou only tire meNow you'll hire meExpensive care is meaninglessFeeling nothing and caring lessCut off at the passShe knows where you're headedShe wants double timeOr a temporary wedding[Chorus:]And the lucky girl leads a life of leisureWith forty-five years for seconds of pleasureThe hands on the clock move so preciselyAnd I only kiss but once or twiceI can't help you nowI can't help myself'Cause the time's running outAnd it's twenty-five to twelveCrowds surround loudspeakersOn the lamppostsListening to the murder mysteryMeanwhile someone's in the classroomBusy forging books on historyWouldn't give that man my handLetras de cancionesHe'd steal my fingersSo the sleuth ends up in stitchesAnd your urges turn to itches[Chorus]I was committed to lifeAnd then commuted to the outskirtsI was living for thirty minutes at a timeWith a break in the middle for advertsSee the human furnitureBut it's only for showNow you can look all that you likeBut they only let you touch and go[Chorus]
