All The Rage Lyrics - Elvis Costello

1-2-3, 2-2-3 

The twitching impulses to speak your mind 

I'll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it 

Is it in that ugly place that's just behind your face 

Where you keep my picture still despite the fact 

That you had me replaced 

Say "Goodbye" 

Baby can't you act your age? 

You know why 

I'm going to give it to you straight 

Although I'll never be 

Unhappy as you want me to be 

Still it's all the rage

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I'll probably play along 

Left to my own devices 

Spare me the drone of your advice 

The sins of garter and gin 

Confession may delay 

You know the measuring pole 

The merry boots of clay 

I've heard it all before 

You'll say it anyway 

Say "Goodbye" 

Baby can't you act your age? 

You know why 

I'm going to give it to you straight 

Although I'll never be 

Unhappy as you want me to be 

Still it's all the rage 

Photos 

Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief 

You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief 

So don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think 

And don't try to read my mind because it's full of disappearing ink 

Say "Goodbye" 

Baby can't you act your age? 

You know why 

I'm going to give it to you straight 

Although I'll never be 

Unhappy as you want me to be 

Still it's all the rage 

Although I'll never be 

Unhappy as you want me to be 

Still it's all the rage
