Hand In Hand

Elvis Costello

No, don't ask me to apologise. 
I won't ask you to forgive me. 
If I'm gonna go down, 
you're gonna come with me 
You say 'Why don't you be a man about it, 
like they do in the grown-up movies?' 
But when it comes to the other way around, 
you say you just wanna use me. Oh, 
you sit and you wonder whether 
it's gonna be syndicated. 
You sit with your knees together. 
All the time your breath is baited. 

Hand in Hand. 
No, don't ask me to apologise. 
I won't ask you to forgive me. 
If I'm gonna go down, 
you're gonna come with me 

Don't you know I got the bully boys out 
changing someone's facial design, 
sitting with my toy room lout, 
polishing my precious china 
Don't you know I'm an animal? 
But don't you know I can't stand up steady? 
But you can't show me any kind of hell 
that I don't know already. 

Hand in Hand. 
No, don't ask me to apologise. 
I won't ask you to forgive me. 
If I'm gonna go down, 
you're gonna come with me 
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand...
