Elvis Costello Less Than Zero Lyrics

Less Than Zero Lyrics

Calling Mister Oswald with the swastika tattoo,
there is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo,
carving "v" for vandal on the guilty boy`s head.
When he`s had enough of that maybe you`ll take him to bed
to teach him he`s alive before he wishes he was dead.
Turn up the TV. No one listening will suspect,
even your mother won`t detect it,
no your father won`t know.
they think that I`ve got no respect
but everything means less than zero.
Hey, ooh hey, hey, ooh hey.

Oswald and his sister are doing it again.
They`ve got the finest home movies that you have ever seen.
They`ve got a thousand variations: every service with a smile.
They`re gonna take a little break, and they`ll be back after a while.
well I hear that South America is coming into style.

chorus

A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor.
Mister Oswald said he had an understanding with the law.
He said he heard about a couple living in the USA.
He said they traded in their baby for a Chevrolet.
Let`s talk about the future now we`ve put the past away.
