Riot Act
Elvis Costello & the Attractions, Elvis Costello
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 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 color 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
Struggling with Riot Act? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
