Dr. Luther’s Assistant Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
Everything seems so tranquil
Home movies with no subtitles
Don't you wish you knew what they were saying
When the film keeps playing, playing?

[Chorus]
Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance

[Verse 2]
Some say he is just a lackey
Changing words while the ink is still tacky
He's absolutely indispensable
He keeps the other boys in suspense

[Chorus]
Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance

[Guitar Solo]
