Elvis Costello Love Went Mad Lyrics

Love Went Mad Lyrics

I`ve looked at it every way I can
From under and above
And every chance I`ve had
My love went mad
Love went mad love went mad
You you feel like I feel?
Do you have a heart?
DO YOU HAVE A HEART OF IRON AND STEEL?

Are you a man now you wear a man`s hat?
Are you a man now or are you a rat?
You go to church quiet as a mouse
You`re a big cheese now in the workhouse
With these vulgar fractions of the treble clef
I wish you luck with a capital `F`
A self-made mug is hard to break
A silent partner in someone else`s mistake

Every day goes by without a hitch
YOU FEEL THE URGE BECOMING AN ITCH
The boys in blue are hard to catch
They`re busy turning Piccadilly
Into Brands Hatch
But with your fingers in your ears
Feeling bright as a button
Thinking `THANK GOD THERE`LL BE NO MORE
LAMB DRESSED AS MUTTON`
Playing family favourites on a tissue and a comb
DYING A THOUSAND DEATHS
IN THE SAFETY OF YOUR OWN HOME
