The Beat lyrics translation: ELVIS COSTELLO The Beat song texte and letras ELVIS COSTELLO The Beat tab, paroles and testo ELVIS COSTELLO The Beat Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
We`re all going on a summer holiday
Vigilantes coming out to follow me
Heard somebody say they`re out to collar me
Anybody wanna swallow me?
It takes two to tumble, it takes two to tango
Speak up--don`t mumble if you`re in the combo
On the beat, on the beat
Till a man comes along and he says
`Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ`
See your friends in the state they`re in
See your friends getting under their skin
See your friends getting taken in
Well, if you only knew the things you do to me
I`d do anything to confuse the enemy
There`s only one thing wrong with you befriending me
Take it easy, I think you`re bending me
I`ve been a bad boy with the standard leader
My neighbor`s revving up his Vauxhall Viva
On the beat, on the upbeat
Till a man comes along and he says
`Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ`
See your friends walking down the street
See your friends never quite complete
See your friends getting under their feet
Oh, I don`t want to disease you, but I`m no good with machinery
Oh, I don`t wanna freeze you, stop looking at the scenery
I keep thinking about your mother, oh, I don`t wanna lick them
I don`t wanna be a lover, I just wanna be your victim
I don`t go out much at night, I don`t go out much at all
Did you think you were the only one who was waiting for a call?
On the beat, on the upbeat
Till a man comes along and he says
`Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ`
See your friends treat me like a stranger
See your friends despite all the arrangements
See your friends, nothing here has changed
Just the beat
Just the beat Send " The Beat" Ringtone to your Cell
