Album: Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall

Copped It

Said I ain't no millionaire
But I spent more money than one ever seen
I'm gonna change that scene one day
It's what you're supposed to say
Hey hey hey hey



Can't get far in land of immovable frogs
Can't get far in home of horrible hoax
And you don't last long on a diet of tea and toast



Hey hey hey
And I'm singing the song cause I copped it baby
I steal what I have



Confessions confessions
Bring detractors
Keeping shtum
Brings dough and attractions
Costello, ideas trenchant borrows
New song benefactor
Is the past tomorrow



Sing, sing a song
I'm singing the song cause I copped it baby

Don't last long
There's guns behind you
Aura of desparate boot licker
And you can't hang on with a cuff of him and girl



I'm singing a song cause I copped it baby



Taking out a policy for love and destruction
Can't operate with this vexation
Say it again, real real gone
I know I've copped but I'm not the only one.



It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
