Man Out Of Time Lyrics - The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Wheel (live Cd) - Elvis Costello

So, this is where he came to hide 

When he ran from you? 

In a private detective's overcoat 

And dirty dead man's shoes 

[Incomprehensible] Knightsbridge 

For a minister of state 

Is a far cry from the nod and wink 

Here at traitor's gate 

'Cause the high heel he used to be 

Has been ground down 

And he listens for the footsteps 

That would follow him around 

To murder my love is a crime 

But will you still love 

A man out of time?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

There's a tuppeny, hapenny millionaire 

Looking for a fourpenny one 

With a tight grip on the short hairs 

Of the public imagination 

But for his private wife and kids somehow 

Real life becomes a rumor 

Written in a French letters with some dutch courage 

And a German sense of humor 

He's got a mind like a sewer 

And a heart like a fridge 

He stands to be insulted 

And he pays for the privilege 

To murder my love is a crime 

But will you still love 

A man out of time? 

Photos 

The biggest wheels of industry 

Retire sharp and short 

And the after dinner overtures 

Are nothing but an after thought 

Somebody's creeping in the kitchen 

There's a reputation to be made 

Whose nerves are always on a knife's edge 

Who's up late polishing the blade 

Love is always scampering 

In a cowering or a fawning 

You drink yourself insensitive 

And hate yourself in the morning 

To murder my love is a crime 

But will you still love 

A man out of time? 

But will you still love 

A man out of time?
