Elvis Costello The Crooked Line
Songwriters: Burnett, T-Bone; Costello, Elvis;
Life isn't a game won or tied
Lost by either side
Then some people's idea
Of the straight and narrow
Didn't appeal to me
If you were my life's companion
As it seems you may turn out to be
I'm contemplating
How I hope I'll find you waiting
At the very end of this crooked line
Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness
Through light into darkness
Then some people remark
The worthwhile fire never
Started without that spark
If you were my life's companion
As it seems you may turn out to be
I'm contemplating
How I hope I'll find you waiting
At the very end of this crooked line
