Artist/Band: Elvis Costello
Lyrics for Song: The Crooked Line
Lyrics for Album: Secret, Profane and Sugarcane [2009]



Life isn't a game

Won or tied, lost by either side

Then some people's idea

Of the straight and narrow

Didn't appeal to me



If you were my life's companion

As it seems you may turn out to be

I'm contemplating

How I hope I'll find you waiting

At the very end of this crooked line



Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness

Through light into darkness

While some people remark

The worthwhile fire never started

Without that spark



If you were my life's companion

As it seems you may turn out to be

I'm contemplating

How I hope I'll find you waiting

At the very end of this crooked line



If you were my life's companion

As it seems you may turn out to be

I'm contemplating

How I hope I'll find you waiting

At the very end of this crooked line



At the very end of this crooked line

At the very end of this crooked line
