I Can't Turn It Off - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Basement babies strangling saxophones[00:00:08]

They got twisted motives they got eyes of stone[00:00:12]

But it's a terminal condition[00:00:17]

That is tattered through and through[00:00:19]

It's not that they don't need you[00:00:22]

They're too mixed up to choose[00:00:24]

Broken noses hung up hang on the wall[00:00:28]

Back slapping drinkers cheer the championship brawl[00:00:33]

But they're so punch drunk[00:00:38]

They don't understand the word defeat[00:00:39]

They can take you out and shoot you[00:00:42]

They can't confiscate that beat[00:00:44]

Steam engineer breaks down in the newsreel[00:00:48]

He's seen the future of the diesel wheel[00:00:53]

Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker's yard[00:00:58]

When you're used to the glamour it[00:01:07]

Comes at you twice as hard[00:01:10]

Sometimes I think that I have had enough[00:01:18]

Sometimes I scare myself I get enough[00:01:23]

Oh you know that I can't turn it off[00:01:27]

Young girl rehearses all her blackmail faces[00:01:38]

She's looking for a love that lasts[00:01:43]

She'd never break the heart of any aces[00:01:48]

But she's learning pretty fast[00:01:52]

I've seen those clowns running all over town[00:01:58]

The trying satisfy all of their carnival desires[00:02:02]

You start out looking for your own melody[00:02:08]

They end up in the closing time choirs[00:02:12]

All you lucky people crying in your beer[00:02:17]

When it comes down to silence not even tears[00:02:22]

You're in real trouble between the two[00:02:28]

When it comes down to me[00:02:32]

When it comes down to you[00:02:35]

But it must be something you're allowed to keep[00:02:38]

In between the longest pantomimes[00:02:43]

'Cos it's very easy to let love fall asleep[00:02:48]

When you are worrying about hard times[00:02:52]

Sometimes I think that I have had enough[00:02:58]

Sometimes I scare myself I get enough[00:03:04]

But you know that I can't turn it off[00:03:07]

But you know that I can't turn it off[00:03:18]
