Flutter And Wow - Elvis Costello, The Imposters

Last rays of sunlight die

Full moon begins to rise

Reflected in your eyes

I can’t believe that this is happening

You make the motor in me

Flutter and wow

The crowd was gathering

The clock struck five, then ten

My happy tears were descending

I can’t believe that this is happening

You make the motor in me

Flutter and wow

The incident tape across the bed

Threading it from the reel to the head

I’m planting this thought in a magnetic field

And pushing the button

And all of a sudden

Erase everything rotten

Fascinated and uptight

Make me shout out loud

Make me cry all day and night

My voice got stuck in my throat

Pulled my hand up into the sleeve of my coat

So you’d never know how it was shaking

I can’t believe that this is happening

You make the motor in me

Flutter and wow

You make the motor in me

Start up and stop again

When I am spluttering

I can’t believe that this is happening

You make the motor in me

Flutter and wow

The incident tape across the bed

Threading it from the reel to the head

I’m planting this thought in a magnetic field

And pushing the button

And all of a sudden

Erase everything rotten

Fascinated and uptight

Make me shout out loud

Make me cry all day and night
