Pump It Up

I've been in tenter-hooks

ending in dirty looks

Listen to the muzack

Think about this and that

She said that's that

I don't want to chitter-chat

Turn it down a little bit

Turn it down flat



Pump it up when you don't really need it

Pump it up until you can't feel it



Down in the pleasure centre

Hell bent or heaven sent

Listen to the propaganda

Listen to the latest slanger

There's nothing underhand

That she wouldn't understand



Pump it up until you can't feel it

Pump it up when you don't really need it



Hey



She been a bad girl

She like a chemical

Though you try and stop it

She like a narcotic

You wanna torture her

You wanna talk to her

All the things you bought for her

Are Puttin' up your temperature



Well out in the fashion show

Down in the bargain bin

You put the passion out

Under the pressure pin

Down into submission

Hit and run transition

No use wishing for anyother sin



Pump it up until you can't feel it

Pump it up when you don't really need it

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



(originally by Elvis Costello)
