black and white world - elvis costello lyrics

i was looking at the black and white world
it seemed so exciting
if you’d only put me back to back with that girl
when the night’s inviting
with just a little lighting
there’ll never be days like that again
when i was just a boy and men were men
you never go from moment to moment
you’re the living double of a single fiction
you’re very colourful with your compliments
as you feel the finger’s friction
it’s a freeze-frame
still it’s real life
you don’t want to look
cause you’ve seen the film and you’ve read the book

i was looking at the black and white world
trying to name some pin-up
those days she was just a beautiful girl
now she’s framed and hung up
i thought she was young
up until i saw her last night in close detail
though they all fade away when you’re so pale
it’s more than just a physical attraction
it starts with a face and ends up a fixation
but you’re never gonna feel a fraction
of the way it used to work on your imagination
when you were looking at the black and white world…
