Pump It Up Lyrics - Rock & Roll Music - Elvis Costello

I've been on tenterhooks 

Ending in dirty looks 

Listening to the muzak 

Thinking 'bout this and that 

She said "that's that" 

I don't wanna chitter-chat 

Turn it down a little bit 

Or turn it down flat 

Pump it up, when you don't really need it 

Pump it up, until you can feel it

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Down in the pleasure centre 

Hell-bent or heaven-sent 

Listen to the propaganda 

Listen to the latest slander 

There's nothing underhand 

That she wouldn't understand 

Pump it up, until you can feel it 

Pump it up, when you don't really need it 

Hey! 

She's been a bad girl 

She's like a chemical 

Though you try to stop it 

She's like a narcotic 

You wanna torture her 

You wanna talk to her 

All the things you bought for her 

Could not get a temperature 

Photos 

Pump it up, until you can feel it 

Pump it up, when you don't really need it 

Out in the fashion show 

Down in the bargain bin 

You put your passion out 

Under the pressure pin 

Fall into submission 

Hit and run transmission 

No use wishing now for any other sin 

Pump it up, until you can feel it 

Pump it up, when you don't really need it 

Pump it up, until you can feel it 

Pump it up, when you don't really need it 

Pump it up, until you can feel it 

Pump it up, when you don't really need it 

Don't really need it 

Don't really need it 

Don't really need it
