Elvis Costello & The Attractions Love Went Mad lyrics

Oh, I've looked at it every way I can from under and above
And every chance I've had, my love went mad
Love went mad, love went mad, do you feel like I feel?
Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart of iron and steel?

Are you a man? Now you wear a man's hat
Are you a man now or are you a rat?
You go to church quiet as a mouse
You're a big cheese now in the workhouse

With these vulgar fractions of the treble clef
I wish you luck with a capital 'F'
A self-made mug is hard to break
A silent partner in someone else's mistake

I've looked at it every way I can from under and above
And every chance I've had my love went mad
Love went mad, love went mad, do you feel like I feel?
Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart of iron and steel?

Every day goes by without a hitch
You feel the urge becoming an itch
The boys in blue are hard to catch

They're busy turning Piccadilly into Brands Hatch

But with your fingers in your ears feeling bright as a button
Thinking, ‽Thank God, there'll be no more lamb dressed as mutton”
Playing family favorites on a tissue and a comb
Dying a thousand deaths in the safety of your own home

I've looked at it every way I can from under and above
And every chance I've had my love went mad
Love went mad, love went mad, do you feel like I feel?
Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart of iron and steel?

Love went mad, love went mad, do you feel like I feel?
Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart?
Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart?
Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart of iron and steel?

Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart of iron and steel?
Do you feel like I feel? Do you have a heart?
Do you have a heart of iron and steel?
