Elvis Costello - Seconds Of Pleasure (Trust)
You say you don't desire me,
she's only a hired hand,
now you are tired of me.
Expensive care is meaningless,
feeling nothing and caring less.
Cut off at the pass,
she knows where you were headed,
she wants double-time or a temporary wedding.
And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure,
though she? with forty-five years
for seconds of pleasure.
I thought I knew you too well,
now I find the man is a mystery,
and the promises you made
are really only ancient history.
Everyday goes by without a hitch,
you say the urge becomes an itch.
You say that I'm no go for you, that's rich,
or am I being bitchy?
And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure,
though she forty-five years
for seconds of pleasure.
And the hands on the clock move so precisley,
You say you only kissed her once or twice.
You didn't do it for love, you didn't even do it with stealth.
I can't help you now,
I can't help myself.
Commited to life and then commuted to the outskirts.
I was living for thirty minutes at a time
with a break in the middle for adverts.
You treat me like a piece of human furniture.
You say when? you sad soul,
if you can look all that you like,
but I won't let you touch and poke.
And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure,
though she ? forty-five years
for seconds of pleasure.

| This song is deeply beautiful and haunting with its big blue Diamel and cheap white plastic shoes that don't walk out and don't let in. It's in your eyes. |

| Yeah, but did Blood & Chocolate not have Hope You're Happy now on it? That is possibly one of his best. |

| i think around this time he had to make an ad hoc lp like Blood and Chocolate as sort of a backup piece for those who might have felt alienated by his full on country tinged record King of America. He didn't go for any major production value or deep songwriting on this one. A playing it safe lp at best. Even the best songwriter/performers have to capitulate for the greater good when their star flatlines for a period of time due to changing vogue in contemporary music styles. |

| you think "blood and chocolate" is playing it safe? and there's no "deep songwriting"? what in the world are you talking about? have you actually listened to the record?
"battered old bird", "crimes of paris", and "i want you" certainly stand out. at any rate, that's the dumbest thing i've read all day. |

| Well, go out and buy yourself a copy of his album North then. That should help you appreciate his pop side. |
