Elvis Costello - The Stamping Ground текст песни

The stamping ground,

The stamping ground.

All your old gang

Still hang around.

Coming in with the same blokes,

Going home with the same jokes,

If you ever go missing

I know where youll be found :

The stamping ground.

The big fella on the front door knows your face.

The barman pretends that hes saved you a place,

But when your back is turned

They say shes older than she tells.

I could stand the main attraction,

But not the clientelle.

The stamping ground,

The stamping ground.

All your old gang

Still hang around.

Coming in with the same blokes,

Going home with the same jokes,

If you ever go missing

I know where youll be found :

The stamping ground.

Everybody knows

Evrybodys trouble,

Who comes in alone,

Who leaves as a couple.

When they seen you coming, babe,

They act like theyre pleased to meet you.

Say "its very nice to know you,

But I wouldnt want to be you."

The stamping ground,

The stamping ground.

All your old gang

Still hang around.

Going home with the same blokes,

Going home with the same jokes,

If you ever go missing

I know where youll be found :

The stamping ground.

You talk like you dont have a brain in your head.

You act like you dont have a care in your bed.

Th lights are on,

Theres no one home,

It scares you to death.

You stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath.

The stamping ground,

The stamping ground.

All your old gang

Still hang around.

Going home with the same blokes,

Going home with the same jokes,

If you ever go missing

I know where youll be found :

The stamping ground.

The stamping ground.

The stamping ground.

The stamping ground.

The stamping ground.
