The crooked line
by Elvis Costello

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
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...
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
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...
Then some people´s idea of the straight and narrow
Didn´t appeal to me
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...
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
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...
