Artist/Band: Duran Duran
Lyrics for Song: Watching The Detectives
Lyrics for Album: Thank You [1995]



(Elvis Costello cover)



Nice girls, not one with a defect

Cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct

Red dogs under illegal legs

She looks so good that he gets down and begs



She is watching the detectives

"Oooh it's so cute!"

She is watching the detectvies

When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot



They beat him up until the teardrops start

But he can't be wounded 'cos he's got no heart



Long shot of that jumping sign

Invisible shivers running down my spine

Cut to baby taking off her clothes

Close up of the sign that says 'we never close'



You snatch a chill, you match a cigarette

She pulls your eyes out with a face like a magnet

I don't know how much more of this i can take

She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake



She is watching the detectives

"Ooooh it's so cute!"

She is watching the detectives

When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot



They beat him up until the teardrops start

But he can't be wounded 'cos he's got no heart



You think you're alone until you realise you're in it

Now baby's here to stay, love is here for a visit

They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit

Someone's scratching at the window: i wonder who is it?

The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents

Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's Disappearance

Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay

It only took my little finger to blow you away



Just like watching the detectives

Don't get cute

It's just like watching the detectives

I get so angry when the teardrops start

But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart



Watching the detectives

It's just like watching the detectives
