STRICT TIME Elvis Costello
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G]There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth
I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out
Don't [C]want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist
'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list[G]
[D]Fingers creeping up my spine are not [C]mine to resist
[G]Strict time
CHORUS:
[D]Toughen up, toughen up
Keep your lip buttoned up[C]
Strict time[G]
[G]Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl
And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl
Strict time
[C]Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial
The courting cold wars weekend witch trial
[G]Strict time
[D]All the boys are straight laced and the [C]girls are frigid
The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid 'cause it's [G]strict time
Strict time
(chorus)
[G]You talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones
Try to look Italian through the musical Valium
Strict time
[C]Thinking of grand larceny
Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chas[D]tity
Cute assistants staying alive
[C]More like a hand job than the hand[G] jive
Strict time
Chorus
