Elvis Costello
The Crooked Line
[Verse 1]
Life isn't a game... Won or tied... Lost by either side...
Then some people's idea of the straight and narrow
Didn't appeal to me

[Chorus]
If you were my life's companion
As it seems you may turn out to be
I'm contemplating
How i hope i'll find you waiting
At the very end of this crooked line...

[Verse 2]
Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness
Though light into darkness
While some people remark
No worthwhile fire
Ever started without that spark

[Chorus]
