ELVIS COSTELLO - Big Boys lyrics
rate meI am starting to function<br>In the usual way<br>Everything is so provocative<br>Very very, temporary<br><br>I shall walk (I shall walk)<br>Out of this place (out of this place)<br>I shall walk<br>Out on you<br>'cause you go silly<br>If she's willing<br>Trying so hard to be like the big boys<br><br>So you take her to the pictures<br>Trying to become a fixture<br>Inch by inch trying to reach her<br>All the way through the second feature<br>Worrying about your physical fitness<br>Tell me how you got this sickness, oh ohhhh..<br><br>I was caught in the suction<br>By a face like a truncheon<br>I was down upon one knee<br>Stroking her vanity<br><br>I was stuck on a hammerhead<br>I came alive and left for dead<br>As my face returned to red<br>Choking on my pride and pity<br><br>We can talk (we can talk)<br>Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)<br>We can talk but she'll get to you<br>After you've been loved and hated<br>By the ones you've watched and waited<br>Found that they were overrated<br><br>She'll be the one - when the party's over<br>She'll be the one - when the girls have gone home<br>She'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held onto<br>She'll be the one - but it's too late for you to<br>She'll be the one - who knows all your history<br>She'll be the one -<br><br>So you can cross her off your list<br>And you try so hard<br>And you try so hard<br>And you try so hard<br>To be like the big boys, oh.
