Elvis Costello And The Attractions - Human Touch lyrics

rate me

I know, I've just gotta get out of this place<br />

I can't stand any more of that mechanical grace<br />

Though you say, it's only industrial squeeze<br />

It looks like luxury and feels like a disease<br />

<br />

Oh, give it to me, give it to me<br />

I don't want to know much about much<br />

Give it to me, give it to me<br />

I need, I need, I need the human touch<br />

<br />

Left with just a house to hold<br />

Drinking your way to dry dock<br />

It's easy to break up a model citizen<br />

Living in the state of shock<br />

<br />

I just can't believe I am responsible for this<br />

What the makeup hides can't be made up with a kiss<br />

<br />

Oh, give it to me, give it to me<br />

I don't want to know much about much<br />

Give it to me, give it to me<br />

I need, I need, I need the human touch<br />

<br />

When I'm talking in tongues I go where you lead<br />

I don't make you plead, ooh, I need you<br />

How I'd like to fix her in a picture of rage<br />

How I'd like to catch her when she's acting her age<br />

<br />

But when she's lying stretched out on the floor<br />

It's no mystery to me anymore<br />

<br />

Oh, give it to me, give it to me<br />

I don't want to know much about much<br />

Give it to me, give it to me<br />

I need, I need, I need the human<br />

I need, I need, I need the human<br />

I need, I need, I need the human touch
