Night Rally - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

I would send out for assistance but there’s someone on the signal wire

And the corporation logo is flashing on and off in the sky

They’re putting all your names in the forbidden book

I know what they’re doing but I don’t want to look

You think they’re so dumb;

you think they’re so funny

Wait until they’ve got you running to the…

Night rally, night rally

Night rally

Everybody’s singing with their hand on their heart

About deeds done in the darkest hours

That’s just the sort of catchy little melody

To get you singing in the showers

Oh, I know that I’m ungrateful

I’ve got it lying on a plate

And I’m not buying my share of souvenirs

You can stand to attention

You can pray to your uncle

Only get that chicken out of here

Everyone gets armbands and 3-D glasses

Some are in the back room

And they’re taking those night classes

You think they’re so dumb, you think they’re so funny

Wait until they’ve got you running to the…

Night rally, night rally

Night rally, night rally

Night rally, night rally

Night rally, night rally

Night rally, night rally

Night rally, night rally

Night rally, night rally

Night rally, night rally…
