:Hi, :as the subject suggests, I'm looking for the tab/chord/lyrics for Elvis :Costello's :"Watching the Detectives".
Thank you VERY MUCH to Jason who posted the response below. Cheers, Matt.
This is from one of my Elvis books:
Watching The Detectives Elvis Costello
Nice girls, not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink wrap, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs
CH:
She is watching the detectives
"Ooh, he's so cute"
Watching the detectives
When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign Visible shivers running down my spine Cut to baby taking off her clothes Close up of the sign that says, "We never close"
You snatch a tune, you match a cigarette She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet I don't know how much more of this I can take She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake ... (CH)
You think you're alone, until you realize you're in it Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit Someone's scrathing at the door, I wonder who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away
