From A Whisper To A Scream - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Oh it’s not easy to resist temptation

Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else’s imagination

Taking ev’ry word she says just like an open invitation

But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation

Chorus:

Like a finger running down a seam

From a whisper to a scream

So I whisper and I scream

But don’t get me wrong

Please don’t leave me waitin' too long

Waitin' too long

Waitin' too long

Waitin' too long

Hey

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh if the customers like it then they’ll keep on paying

If they keep on drinking then they’ll end up staying

I heard someone say where have we met before

But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four

Chorus
