Elvis Costello & The Attractions - B Movie lyrics

I found America hiding in the corner of my wallet It's a well kept secret, thought that I had better swallow it Before they make me spit out the truth Before they find you're lying about your youth B movie, that's all you are to me Just a soft soap story Don't want the woman to adore me You can't stand it when it goes from real to reel Too real too real You can't stand it when I throw punch lines you can feel All the time, there's a rule book in Brittania That no one ever waives And everybody's on the make It's not your heart I want to break Turn out the lights I'm thinking that I want to go to sleep now Just give me a promise that I'm supposed to keep now I don't want some fool asking me why When I find you're finally making me cry
