20% Amnesia Lyrics - Elvis Costello

"What is your destiny?", the policewoman said 

(20% amnesia) 

The word that she wanted was destination, I'm afraid 

(20% amnesia) 

 

This is your future, boy, this is your fate 

(20% amnesia) 

And you're obsolete and they can't afford to educate you 

(20% amnesia) 

 

In his bedtime Bootboy jersey 

Ringin' up some fantasy tart 

Give me strength or give me mercy 

Life intimidates art 

 

Give me strength or give me mercy 

Don't let me lose heart 

From rage to anesthesia 

20% amnesia

Were you passed out on the sofa 

(20% amnesia) 

While justice is bartered by a drunken oaf? 

(20% amnesia) 

 

This is all your glorious country thinks of your life 

(20% amnesia) 

Stripped Jack naked with a Stanley knife 

(20% amnesia) 

 

So the German Queen went home again 

But she couldn't find forgiveness 

They made a fist of her hand of friendship 

That is only business 

 

Give me strength or give me mercy 

Don't let me lose heart 

From rage to anesthesia 

20% amnesia

The wine you drink has never seen a grape 

And now your sci-fi suit has lost its shape 

But it's a dangerous game that comedy plays 

Sometimes it tells you the truth, sometimes it delays it 

 

Think back, think back if you still can 

When the trumpet soundin' and the world began 

Somebody said we must have won 

So they started burying the bogeyman 

 

Mr.Gorbachev came cap in hand 

(20% amnesia) 

From a bankrupt land to a bankrupt land 

(20% amnesia) 

 

Mr.Gorbachev and some other fella 

(20% amnesia) 

Were taken to a show called 'Cinderella' 

(20% amnesia) 

 

It wasn't an accident, it wasn't a mystery 

(20% amnesia) 

It was calculated and the rest is history 

(20% amnesia) 

 

You don't have to listen to me 

That's the triumph of free will 

There are promises to break 

And dreams to kill 

 

Give me strength or give me mercy 

Don't let me lose heart 

From rage to anesthesia 

20% amnesia
