Elvis Costello - TKO (Boxing Day) lyrics

You can run all you like from the classroom or the cot

From a great big man or a tiny tot

But from this day everyday will be BOXING DAY

Don't need your indecision let there be no doubt

Don't need you permission I can count you out

TKO

They put the numb into number they put the cut into cutie

They put the slum into slumber and the boot into beauty

But from this day everyday will be BOXING DAY

It's a fight to the finish let there be no doubt

As the seconds turn into minutes I can count you out

TKO

You need a back to break or a back to stab

NOW YOUR BIRTHDAY SUIT LOOKS DULL AND DRAB

But from this day everyday will be BOXING DAY

NOW YOU DON'T LOOK SO GLAMOROUS

WHENEVER I FEEL SO AMOROUS

I CAN COUNT YOU OUT

TKO
