| Elvis Costello – Watching the Detectives Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
|
Simply about every detective TV series that was ever made. Always the same themes and stories with a beautiful woman and in the end the handsome detective walks away unharmed even though he's been shot several times within the half hour. Elvis is resolved to the fact that any given moment he can change the channel by "it only took my little fingers to blow you away" with the remote control. |
