Senior Service - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Senior service

Junior dissatisfaction

It’s a breath you took too late

It’s a death that’s worse than fate

Senior service

Junior dissatisfaction

Though it may be second hand

It’s by no means second rate

I want your neck

I want the seat that you sit at

I want your check

Because they told me I would get on

I want to chop off your head and watch it roll into the basket

If you should drop dead tonight, then, they won’t have to ask me twice

It’s a breath you took too late

It’s a death that’s worse than fate

Senior service

Junior dissatisfaction

Though it may be second hand

It’s by no means second rate

They took me in the office and they told me very carefully

The way that I could benefit from death and disability

Junior dissatisfaction

It’s a breath you took too late

It’s a death that’s worse than fate

Senior service

Junior dissatisfaction

Though it may be second hand

It’s by no means second rate

I want your company car

I want your girlfriend and love

I want your place at the bar

Because there’s always another man

To chop off your head and watch it roll into the basket

If you should drop dead tonight, then, they won’t have to ask me twice
