Lyrics for Strict Time by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Trust | | Track: | Strict Time | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 77 | | | | Lyrics: | There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth
I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming
out
Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist
'Cause there's no ventilation on a
critical list
Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist
Strict
time
Chorus:
Toughen up, toughen up
Keep your lip buttoned up
Strict
time
Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl
And a cold sweat breaks out on the
sweater girl
Strict time
Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial
The courting cold
wars weekend witch trial
Strict time
All the boys are straight laced and the girls are
frigid
The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid 'cause it's strict time
Strict
time
Chorus
You talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones
Try to look
Italian through the musical Valium
Strict time
Thinking of grand larceny
Smoking the
everlasting cigarette of chastity
Cute assistants staying alive
More like a hand job than
the hand jive
Strict time
