Graham Parker & The Rumour - Don't Get Excited lyrics

There is always some advantage to be wielded and brought to bear It's a lonely occupation keeping others out of your hair Fingers on all the switches talk in whispers talking soft You know all my favourite b**hes you know what gets me off But try to reach a vital part of me My interest level's dropping rapidly It's all excuses baby all a stall I just don't get excited I've been running round in circles and jump jump jumping out of cars They put animals in cages specimens in jars It's summer now there's no temptation and baby nails digging under skin It don't give me the right sensation it's just another thing You try to reach a vital part of me My attention span is dropping rapidly It's all excuses baby all a stall We just don't get excited Don't get excited No Don't get excited Don't get excited Talk about it talk about it all night long Think about it think about it nothing's wrong Don't get excited Don't get excited Don't get excited Don't get excited Don't get excited Don't get excited Don't get excited Baby listen without thinking you better be without demands Now don't get edgy and don't start blinking and don't start making any plans You try to reach a vital part of me My interest level's dropping rapidly It's all excuses baby all a stall We just don't get excited Don't get excited No don't get excited Don't get excited
