Lyrics of Two Little Hitlers by Elvis Costello,The Attractions
verse
Why are we racing to be so old?
I'm up late pacing the floor
I won't be told
You have your reservations
I'm bought and sold
verse
I'll face the music
I'll face the facts
Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks
verse
Bowing and squawking
Running after titbits
Bobbing and squinting
Just like a nitwit
chorus
Two little Hitlers will fight it out until
One little Hitler does the other one's will
I will return
I will not burn
Down in the basement
verse
I need my head examined
I need my eyes excited
I'd like to join the party
But I was not invited
You make a member of me
I'll be delighted
verse
I wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown
Dirty words for dirty minds
Written in a toilet town
verse
Dial me a Valentine
She's a smooth operator
It's all so calculated
She's got a calculator
She's my soft touch typewriter
And I'm the great dictator
chorus
Two little Hitlers will fight it out until
One little Hitler does the other one's will
I will return
I will not burn
verse
A simple game of self-respect
You flick a switch and the world goes off
Nobody jumps as you expect
I would have thought you would have had enough by now
verse
You call selective dating
For some effective mating
I thought I'd let you down, dear
But you were just deflating
verse
I knew right from the start
We'd end up hating
Pictures of the merchandise
Plastered on the wall
We can look so long as we don't have to talk at all
verse
You say you'll never know him
He's an unnatural man
He doesn't want your pleasure
He wants as no one can
He wants to know the names of
All those he's better than
chorus
Two little Hitlers will fight it out until
One little Hitler does the other one's will
I will return
I will not burn
Down in the basement
outro
I will return
I will not burn
I will return
I will not burn
I will return
I will not burn...
Writer(s): Elvis Costello
