Copped It (Live, Manchester Musicians Collective, Band On The Wall, 13 November 1977)

歌詞

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
