Starting To Come To Me - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

It's started to come to me[00:00:08]

Your new career would probably end like this[00:00:10]

All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss[00:00:13]

Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts[00:00:20]

The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter[00:00:23]

Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr[00:00:27]

Well it's starting to come to me[00:00:31]

Come to me come to me[00:00:34]

Starting to come to me[00:00:35]

So you began to recognize the well dressed man[00:00:44]

That everybody loves[00:00:47]

It started when you chopped off all the fingers[00:00:50]

Of those pony skin gloves[00:00:53]

Then you cut a hole out where the love light[00:00:56]

Used to shine[00:00:59]

Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine[00:01:00]

You try to laugh it off saying I knew all[00:01:04]

The time[00:01:07]

But it's starting to come to me[00:01:07]

Come to me come to me[00:01:10]

Starting to come to me[00:01:12]

Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant[00:01:15]

You say you may reward him if he gives you[00:01:19]

What you want[00:01:22]

But these are days to treasure and to hold[00:01:23]

They are much too precious to be sold[00:01:25]

You'd probably play the pirate[00:01:29]

If you weren't so busy digging up the gold[00:01:31]

Now you could tell him wanted you 'cause[00:01:38]

You could almost taste it on his breath[00:01:40]

But you always cheated life[00:01:44]

Just like the bold dare devil cheated death[00:01:45]

Incidentally late last night your understudy[00:01:49]

Finally got what you deserve[00:01:52]

In private she's seductive but in public[00:01:55]

She's prim porcelain and nervous[00:01:58]

Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes[00:02:01]

You've still got your dignity or the next best disguise[00:02:05]

You never know when to say no and when to[00:02:09]

Compromise[00:02:11]

But it's starting to come to me[00:02:12]

Come to me come to me[00:02:15]

Starting to come to me[00:02:17]

Come to me come to me[00:02:19]

Starting to come to me[00:02:21]
