Lyric Big Boys - Elvis Costello

Lyric Song Big Boys: I am starting to function
In the usual way
Everything is so provocative
Very verytemporary
I shall walk I shall walk
Out of this place 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 sicknessOh ohhhh
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 hammerhead
I came alive and left for dead
As my face returned to red
Choking on my pride and pity
We can talk we can talk
Until your face is blue til your face is blue
We can talk but she ll get to you
After you ve been loved and hated
By the ones you ve watched and waited
Found that they were overrated
She ll be the one when the party s over
She ll be the one when the girls have gone home
She ll be the one that you ll wish you d held onto
She ll be the one but it s too late for you to
She ll be the one who knows all your history
She ll be the one
So you can cross her off your list
And you try so hard
And you try so hard
And you try so hard
To be like the big boysoh
