The Imposter [live, London 1979] Elvis Costello

Trying to be too bad
Trying to talk too tough
Trying to jack the lad
You'd think you'd had enough

But he's not the man you'd think that he can be
I just don't know why you can't see
That he is only the imposter
That he is only the imposter

You never been this far
Always stuck too smart
And you know all our boys
Are really girls at heart

And he's not the man you'd think that he can be
I just don't know why you can't see
That he is only the imposter
That he is only the imposter

When I said that I was lying, I might have been lying
Never let me hear you say you're not trying
No

No
