ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "Riot Act"

Forever doesn't mean forever anymore
I said forever
But it doesn't look like I'm gonna be around much anymore

When the heat gets sub-tropical
And the talk gets so topical


[Chorus:]
Riot act - you can read me the riot act
You can make me a matter of fact

Or a villain in a million
A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian


Why do you talk such stupid nonsense
When my mind could rest much easier
Instead of all this dumb dumb insolence

I would be happier with amnesia

They say forget her

Now it looks like you're either gonna be for me or against me
I got your letter
Now they say I don't care for the colour that it paints me

Trying to be so bad is bad enough
Don't make me laugh by talking tough
Don't put your heart out on your sleeve

When your remarks are off the cuff

[Chorus]
