Elvis Costello Wednesday Week Lyrics

Wednesday Week Lyrics

The movies save on conversation
And the TV saves on sight
We met in a head-on collision
So I would say our chances would be slight
You can lead and I will follow
See us dancing cheek to cheek
You`ll remember me tomorrow
But you won`t give a damn by Wednesday Week

Say you love me until you do so
Joso singing just like Caruso
Three little words roll off your tongue
Somehow your face just doesn`t look so young
You say you want to strike a bargain
Now there is no need to speak
You say you want to learn the jargon
But you won`t give a damn by Wednesday Week
You start acting like a zombie
Someone wants your piece of cake
You think you want to jump up on me
But you won`t give a damn by Wednesday Week

Oh what a letdown when the battle was finally won
One little breakdown and then it was over and done
I wish I had your confidence
It`s love and not coincidence
Do you say these words to everyone ?
You`re fantastic, you`re terrific
Your excellence is almost scientific
You took the words out of my mouth
You put the tongue into my cheek
But I`d better lose my memory by Wednesday Week
