Elvis Costello - Black And White World Lyrics

Send "Black And White World" ringtones to your cell

I was looking at the black and white world 
It seemed so exciting 
If you'd only put me back to back with that girl 
When the night's inviting 
With just a little lighting 
There'll never be days like that again 
When I was just a boy and men were men 
You never go from moment to moment 
You're the living double of a single fiction 
You're very colourful with your compliments 
As you feel the finger's friction 
It's a freeze-frame 
Still it's real life 
You don't want to look 
Cause you've seen the film and you've read the book 
I was looking at the black and white world 
Trying to name some pin-up 
Those days she was just a beautiful girl 
Now she's framed and hung up 
I thought she was young 
Up until I saw her last night in close detail 
Though they all fade away when you're so pale 
It's more than just a physical attraction 
It starts with a face and ends up a fixation 
But you're never gonna feel a fraction 
Of the way it used to work on your imagination 
When you were looking at the black and white world...
