National Ransom - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Runnin' pell mell and harum scarum[00:00:10]

Runnin' as hot as[00:00:16]

They do or dare[00:00:19]

Stick out your tongue and[00:00:23]

Drink down all the venom[00:00:24]

Off Cut Throat Cuthbert[00:00:29]

And Millicent St Cy[00:00:32]

From the real old Macau[00:00:35]

To the new False Americas[00:00:39]

In the liberated territories[00:00:42]

Unusual suspects shake down[00:00:45]

Shake down shake down[00:00:48]

Various dubious characters[00:00:51]

Mother's in the kitchen[00:01:00]

Pickin' bones for breakfast[00:01:01]

Boilin' them down by[00:01:06]

The bushel and the score[00:01:09]

Pull out your thumb and[00:01:13]

Count what's left on your fist[00:01:15]

There's a wolf at the window[00:01:19]

With a ravenin' maw[00:01:22]

Did you find how to lie [00:01:26]

Did you find out how to cheat [00:01:29]

The elite bleat they're obsolete[00:01:32]

So are your prospects[00:01:35]

Exact perfect object [00:01:37]

Now if you'd only genuflect[00:01:41]

They're runnin' wild just like some[00:01:45]

Childish tantrum[00:01:49]

Meanwhile we're workin' every day[00:01:52]

Payin' off the National Ransom[00:01:56]

Woe betide all this hocus pocus[00:02:11]

They're runnin' us ragged[00:02:17]

At their first attempt[00:02:19]

Around the time the killin'[00:02:24]

Stopped on Wall St [00:02:26]

You couldn't hold me baby [00:02:30]

With anythin' but contempt[00:02:33]

Letters peal slowly from our speech[00:02:36]

The Claxton attempts to preach[00:02:40]

Stretchin' out for stars[00:02:43]

Still out of reach[00:02:45]

Drownin' flailin' outside[00:02:46]

Someone's wailin'[00:02:50]

They're runnin' wild just like some[00:02:53]

Childish tantrum[00:02:58]

Meanwhile we're workin' every day[00:03:01]

Payin' off the National Ransom[00:03:06]

They're runnin' wild just like some[00:03:13]

Childish tantrum[00:03:17]

Meanwhile we're workin' every day[00:03:21]

Just Payin' off the National Ransom[00:03:25]

The National Ransom[00:03:32]
