Elvis Costello — Big Boys demo

I am starting to function in the usual way Everything is so provocative Very, very temporary I shall walk out of this place I shall walk out on you 'Cause you go silly if she's willing Trying so hard to be like the big boys So you take her to the pictures Trying to become a fixture Inch by inch, trying to reach her All the way through the second feature Worrying about your physical fitness Tell me how you got this sickness Ooh Oh, I was caught in the suction By a face like a truncheon I was down upon one knee, stroking her vanity I was stuck on a hammer head I came alive, then left for dеad As my face returned to rеd Choking on my pride and pity We can talk 'til your face is blue We can talk, but she'll get to you After you've been loved and hated By the ones who watched and waited Found that they were overrated She'll be the one when the girls have gone home She'll be the one when the party's over She'll be the one that you wished you'd held on to She'll be the one that it's too late for you to She'll be the one knows all your history She'll be the one, so you can cross her off your list 'Cause you try so hard Well, you try so hard And you try so hard to be like the big boys
