Seconds Of Pleasure lyrics
Song information
Artist: Elvis Costello Album: Trust
Lyrics
You say you don't desire me You only tire me. now you hire me Inexpensive care is meaningless Feeling nothing and caring less Cut off at the pass, she knows where you were headed She wants double-time or a temporary wedding And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure Though she might have do (?) with forty-five years For seconds of pleasure Crowds surround loudspeakers on the lampposts Listening to the murder mystery Meanwhile someone's in the classroom Busy forging the books of history I wouldn't give that man my hand He'd probably steal my fingers So the truth ends up in stitches And your urges turn to itches And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure Though she might have do (?) with forty-five years For seconds of pleasure I was commited to life And then commuted to the outskirts I was living for thirty minutes at a time With a break in the middle for adverts In the strung up derby (?) human furniture You say when; you say so Well you can look all that you like But I won't let you touch and go And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure Though she might have do (?) with forty-five years For seconds of pleasure
