lirik lagu the other end of the telescope (live) – elvis costello
shall we agree that just this once
i’m going to change my life
until it’s just as tiny or important as you like
and in time we won’t even remember we spoke
words that turned out to be as big as smoke
a smoke that disappears into the air
there’s always something smoldering somewhere
i know it don’t make a difference to you
but oh! it sure made a difference to me
you’ll see me off in the distance i hope
at the other end
at the other end of the telescope
the promise of indulgence in my confidential voice
approached immortal danger but you’ll never know how close
then down the hall i overheard such a heavenly choir
they interrupted my evil designs
one day you are up in the clouds
the next thing you’re down with the sweet adelines
i know it don’t make a difference to you
but oh! it sure made a difference to me
you’ll see me off in the distance i hope
at the other end
at the other end of the telescope
lie down baby now
don’t say a word
there there baby your vision is blurred
your head is so sore from all of that thinking
i don’t want to hurt you know
but i think you’re shrinking
you’re half-naked ambition and half out of your wits
or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits
now it’s so hard to pick the receiver up when i call
i never noticed you could be so small
the answer was under your nose but the question never arose
i know it don’t make a difference to you
but oh! it sure made a difference to me
you’ll see me off in the distance i hope
‘cos late in the evening as i sit here moping
with a bamboo needle on a sh-llac of chopin
and the cast-iron heart that you failed to tear open
at the other end
at the other end of the telescope
