High Fidelity - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Some things you never get used to

Even though you’re feeling like another man

There’s nothing that he can do for you

To shut me away as you walk through

Lovers laughing in their amateur hour

Holding hands in the corridors of power

Even though I’m with somebody else right now

High fidelity, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

High fidelity, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

There’s a new kind of dedication

Maybe you’ll find it down the tunnel

Maybe I got above my station

Maybe you’re only changing channel

Even though you’re nowhere near me

And I know you kiss him so sincerely now

Even though the signal’s indistinct

And you worry what silly people think

Who just can’t wait to feel so frozen out

I bet he thinks that he was chosen out of millions

I suppose he’ll never know about

High fidelity, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

High fidelity, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?
