Graças à proximidade dos shows de Elvis Costello no Brasil, retirei toda a minha coleção costelliana das prateleiras e estou numa audição ininterrupta há algumas semanas. Tendo prazeres atrás de prazeres. Redescobrindo pérolas como esta aqui:

BABY PLAYS AROUND

It's not open to discussion anymore
She's out again tonight and I'm alone once more
She's all I have worth waiting for
But baby plays around

And so it seems I've always been the last to know
To hold on to that girl, I had to let her go
I wish to God I didn't love her so
'Cos baby plays around

I try to be strong hold on to my pride
She doesn't even know it's wrong, how much I hurt Inside
And heaven knows I've tried
But baby plays around. just a plaything
It's hard to reconcile the facts I'm facing

It's not open to discussion anymore
She walks those shiny streets
I walk the worn out floor
She's all I have worth living for
Baby plays, baby plays around
