Elvis Costello is mor on my favourites. Here’s verse 3 from Watching the Detectives.
![[Verse 3]
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
Someone's scratching at the window; I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst
About their daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lbrtyqph7gvgkypbyc3bcdce/bafkreicw2vdrrxoazwcn2nlah5ygtu3lhhzrdegqvqoc2g2u2eridrp72m@jpeg)
