| Elvis Costello – Watching the Detectives Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
Elvis says in his book "Still, it was obvious from the first playback of 'Dectectives' that this song was the real beginning of making records as opposed to just recording some songs in a room."
"I'd written the song in my front room in Whitton, fueled by nothing stronger than a jar of instant coffee after listening repeatedly to the first album by The Clash for what I told people was thirty-six hours, but was all the way through one completely sleepless, caffeinated night." |

When the heat gets subtropical
When the talk gets so topical
the heat is getting hot
and the talk is getting hot too. |
