Lyrics for Invasion Hit Parade Macmanus by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Mighty Like A Rose | | Track: | Invasion Hit Parade Macmanus | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | Now that you set everybody free
What are you going to do about me?
Don't want to be
treated like some poor grateful clown
I'd rather go back to the sweet underground
Where I
can tell by the colour of my skin
And I know my neighbour 'cos he's the one, yes he's the
one
Who always turns me in
A woman works the tunnel in the middle of the
night
Picking up every lost object in sight
Handbags, toupees, lost legs and
fingernails
The black market eats up all your failures
Her transistor offers no salvation
or regrets
No pool, no pets, no cigarettes
Just non-stop Disco Tex and the
Sex-o-lettes
CHORUS
There's no name, no name for the place or pain we'll cause
you
again and again
If you do not co-operate with the Invasion Hit Parade
The
liberation forces make movies of their own
Playing their "Doors" records and pretending to be
stoned
Drowning out a broadcast that wasn't authorised
Incidentally the revolution will be
televised
With one head for business and another for good looks
Until they started
arriving with their rubber aprons and their
butcher's
hooks
CHORUS
They're hunting us down here with Liberty's light
A
handshaking double talking procession of the mighty
Pursued by a T.V. crew and coming after
them
A limousine of singing stars and their brotherhood anthem
The former dictator was
impeccably behaved
They're mopping up all the stubborn ones who just refuse to
be
saved
