All The Rage Lyrics by Elvis Costello

All The Rage Lyrics

    1-2-3,2-2-3

    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

    Chorus:
    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

    Chorus

    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

    Chorus

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