Surrender To The Rhythm
Elvis Costello
SURRENDER TO THE RHYTHM As recorded by Elvis Costello & Rusty (From the 2022 EP THE RESURRECTION OF RUST) [Intro] [Verse 1] Well they danced to every tune the band could play At just about midnight they decided to call it a day Well there’s one thing that’s left here on their minds yeah yeah yeah To get a little slice at any price yeah They stole the shoes and rice Surrendered to the rhythm that is calling them home [Interlude] [Verse 2] He was dumb he was dirty but she was a princess But custom-made it to fit right into his arms Shе could thrill him she could chill him (Woo) down to the bone But hе was in his teens He had to spill the beans Still looking for ways and means Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home [Bridge] Well who’s to say if it’s right or wrong? Not another singer in another song I said we’re doing alright (We’re doing alright) Yeah we’re doing okay (We’re doing okay) We’re doing okay [Organ Solo] [Verse 3] Well now guess what guess what happened guess what happened next She said she had to go said she was meeting up with one of her friends But it was nothing more or less than another mess of the blues But he had more to lose Started putting in clues Oh yeah paying his dues Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home [Chorus] Surrender to the rhythm Surrender to the rhythm Surrender to the rhythm Surrender yeah to the rhythm [Interlude] [Outro] Surrender to the rhythm Surrender to the rhythm Surrender to the rhythm Surrender yeah to the rhythm
