Watch Your Step - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Don’t say a word, don’t say anything

Don’t say a word, I’m not even listening

I read in the paper about their escape

They’re just two bits of kids from a bunch of sour grapes

You better watch your step

Watch who’s knocking on your front door

Now you know that they’re watching what are you waiting for?

Think you’re young and original

Get out before they get to watch your step

Every day is full of fun and family spies

They’re making heroes out of fall guys

They say it’s good for business from Singapore to Widnes

You better watch your step

Broken noses hung up on the wall

Back slapping drinkers cheer the heavyweight brawl

So punch drunk they don’t understand at all

You better watch your step

Every night go out full of carnival desires

End up in the closing time choirs

When you’re kicking in the car chrome

And you’re drinking down the Eau de Cologne

And you’re spitting out the Kodachrome

You better watch your step

Bye, I send you all my regards

You’re so tough, you’re so hard

Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker’s yard

You better watch your step

You better watch your step

Ooh, watch your step
