Big Boys (demo)
   
E
I am starting to function
In the usual way
Everything is so provocative
Very very, temporary

E
I shall walk (I shall walk)
Out of this place (out of this place)
I shall walk

       A
Out on you
'Cause you go silly
If she's willing

      B   A                   E
Trying so hard to be like the big boys

G
So you take her to the pictures

Em
Trying to become a fixture

G
Inch by inch trying to reach her

Em
All the way through the second feature

C                   D
Worrying about your physical fitness

C               D                  A            E
Tell me how you got this sickness, Oh ohhhh..


E
I was caught in the suction
By a face like a truncheon
I was down upon one knee
Stroking her vanity

E
I was stuck on a hammerhead
I came alive and left for dead
As my face returned to red
Choking on my pride and pity

E
We can talk (we can talk)
Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)

                              A
We can talk but she'll get to you
After you've been loved and hated
By the ones you've watched and waited
Found that they were overrated

B             E                      A
She'll be the one - when the party's over

B             E                         A
She'll be the one - when the girls have gone home

B             E                               A
She'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held onto

B             E                  A
She'll be the one - but it's too late for you to

B             E                        A
She'll be the one - who knows all your history

B             E
She'll be the one -

                              A
So you can cross her off your list

           B   A
And you try so hard

           B   A
And you try so hard

           B   A 
And you try so hard

               E         
To be like the big boys

Video Big Boys

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Opportunity
Born in the middle of a second big baby boom Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon Now I'm looking for a little girl, I wonder where she's gone Big money for families having more than one Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity They shop around follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Whatever happened to the pride of the nation? They say, "just wait until you break formation" She was sitting pretty on a velvet cushion But her bedroom eyes were like a button she was pushing She said, "When they get to Dover they'll be be taking over" I said I'd come to her defense and then she pulled me over I'm in the foxhole, I'm down in the trench I'd be a hero but I can't stand the stench The Fitness Institute was full of General Motor men And the "Hello House of Beauty" wouldn't stand a chance with them The chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector I'd like to be his funeral director Chorus Please don't turn around...

Big Boys
Watch these guys shake! We were driving along a very bumpy section of freeway in LA just after buying some Dr. Peppers.

Elvis Costello - This Town...
Elvis Costello - This Town... That charlie sedarka was a-playing the piano Like he was pawing a dirty book He bit a hole in his big bottom lip and gave his Very best little boy look It was a song with a topical verse which iÂ'm Afraid he then proceeded to sing Something about the moody doomed love of The fish-finger king Chorus: YouÂ're nobody in this town YouÂ're nobody in this crowd YouÂ're nobody Â'til everybody in this town Thinks youÂ're poison, Got your number knows it must be avoided YouÂ're nobody Â'til everybody in this town Thinks youÂ're a bastard Mr. getgood moved up to self-made man row Although he swears that heÂ's the salt of the earth HeÂ's so proud of the Â"kick-me-hardÂ" sign that They hung on his back at birth He said Â"i appreciate beauty, if i have one, then ItÂ's my faultÂ" Â"beauty is on my pillow, beauty is there in My vaultÂ" Chorus The girl with the eternity rock went down on Her bookie to buy some stock Now all her signs in the shopping arcades say Â"the corporation thief is the new jesse jamesÂ" Her clothes and her attention were scant, her Eyes were everywhere, Her eyes were like abstinthe The little green figures that dance on his screen Say everything you want to hear and nothing They mean They made love while she was changing her dress She wiped him off she wiped him out and then She made him confess A little amused by the belief in her power You must remember this it was the fetish of The hour Chorus
