[00:00:00] Strict Time - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:05] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:10] There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth

[00:00:13] I can hear you knockin' but I'm not comin' out

[00:00:21] Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist

[00:00:24] 'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list

[00:00:32] Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist

[00:00:37] Strict time time

[00:00:42] Toughen up toughen up

[00:00:43] Keep your lip buttoned up

[00:00:46] Strict time

[00:00:52] Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl

[00:00:55] And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl

[00:00:59] Strict time

[00:01:02] Oh he's all hands don't touch that dial

[00:01:05] The courting cold wars weekend witch trial

[00:01:09] Strict time

[00:01:13] All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid

[00:01:16] The talk is two faced and the rules are rigid 'cause

[00:01:20] It's strict time

[00:01:21] Strict time

[00:01:26] Toughen up toughen up

[00:01:27] Keep your lip buttoned up

[00:01:30] Strict time

[00:01:36] You talk in hushed tones I talk in lush tones

[00:01:38] Try to look Italian through the musical valium

[00:01:42] Strict time

[00:01:46] Thinking of grand larceny

[00:01:48] Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chastity

[00:01:57] Cute assistants staying alive

[00:01:59] More like a hand job than the hand jive

[00:02:03] Strict time

[00:02:06] Toughen up toughen up

[00:02:08] Keep your lip buttoned up

[00:02:10] Strict strict time

[00:02:17] Toughen up toughen up

[00:02:18] Keep your lip buttoned up

[00:02:20] Strict time

[00:02:26] Strict time

[00:02:29] Strict time

[00:02:31] Strict time
