Elvis Costello - All The Rage Lyrics

Send "All The Rage" ringtones to your cell

The twitching impulses to speak your mind 
I'll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it 
Is it in that ugly place that's just behind your face 
Where you keep my picture still despite the fact 
That you had me replaced 
 
Say "Goodbye" 
Baby can't you act your age? 
You know why 
I'm going to give it to you straight 
Although I'll never be 
Unhappy as you want me to be 
Still it's all the rage 

I'll probably play along 
Left to my own devices 
Spare me the drone of your advice 
The sins of garter and gin 
Confession may delay 
You know the measuring pole 
The merry boots of clay 
I've heard it all before 
You'll say it anyway 

Say "Goodbye" 
Baby can't you act your age? 
You know why 
I'm going to give it to you straight 
Although I'll never be 
Unhappy as you want me to be 
Still it's all the rage 

Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief 
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief 
So don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think 
And don't try to read my mind because it's full of disappearing ink 

Say "Goodbye" 
Baby can't you act your age? 
You know why 
I'm going to give it to you straight 
Although I'll never be 
Unhappy as you want me to be 
Still it's all the rage 

Although I'll never be 
Unhappy as you want me to be 
Still it's all the rage
