Pump It Up

Elvis Costello

I've been on tenterhooks, ending in dirty looks

List'ning to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that

She said, "That's that, I don't wanna chitter-chat"

Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat

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

Pump it up, until you can feel it



Down in the pleasure centre, hell-bent or heaven-sent

Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander

There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand

Pump it up, until you can feel it

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



She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical

Though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic

You wanna torture her, you wanna talk to her

All the things you bought for her, putting up your temperature

Pump it up, until you can feel it

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



Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin

You put your passion out under the pressure pin

Fall into submission, hit-and-run transmission

No use wishing now for any other sin

Pump it up, until you can feel it

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