Elvis Costello — Dr. Luthers Assistant

[Verse 1] Everything seems so tranquil Home movies with no subtitles Don't you wish you knew what they were saying When the film keeps playing, playing? [Chorus] Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant He'll close in when he seems so distant Doctor Luther's assistant He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance [Verse 2] Some say he is just a lackey Changing words while the ink is still tacky He's absolutely indispensable He keeps the other boys in suspense [Chorus] Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant He'll close in when he seems so distant Doctor Luther's assistant He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Luther is locked in a broken-down cinema Watches his wife with his video camera Sees his best boy making her grin Out of the kitchen, she's gone with the wind [Chorus] Oh, Doctor Luther's assistant He'll close in when he seems so distant Doctor Luther's assistant He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
