Текст Elvis Costello – Pump It Up

I’ve been on tenterhooks
ending in dirty looks,
list’ning to the Muzak,
thinking ’bout this ‘n’ that.

Down in the pleasure centre,
hell bent or heaven sent,
listen to the propaganda,
listen to the latest slander.
There’s nothing underhand
that she wouldn’t understand.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don’t really need it.

She’s been a bad girl.
She’s like a chemical.
Though you try to stop it,
she’s like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her.
You wanna talk to her.
All the things you bought for her,
putting up your temp’rature.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don’t really need it.

Out in the fashion show,
down in the bargain bin,

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don’t really need it.
