Don't Get Excited Songtext
von Graham Parker & The Rumour

There is always some advantage
To be wielded and brought to bear
It′s a lonely occupation keeping others out of your hair
Fingers on all the switches
Talk in whispers talking soft
You know all my favorite bitches you know what gets me off

But try to reach a vital part of me
My interest levels dropping rapidly
It's all excuses baby all a stall I just don′t get excited

I've been running round in circles
And jump jump jumping out of cars
They put animals in cages, specimens in jars
It's summer now there′s no temptation
And baby nails digging under skin
It don′t give me the right sensation
It's just another thing


You try to reach a vital part of me
My attention span is dropping rapidly
It′s all excuses baby all a stall we just don't get excited
Don′t get excited no, don't get excited, don′t get excited

Talk about it, talk about it all night long
Think about it, think about it nothing's wrong
Don't get excited, don′t get excited, don′t get excited
Don't get excited, don′t get excited, don't get excited
Don′t get excited

Baby listen without thinking you better be without demands
Now don't get edgy and don′t start blinking
And don't start making any plans

You try to reach a vital part of me
My interest levels dropping rapidly
It's all excuses baby all a stall we just don′t get excited
Don′t get excited no, don't get excited, don′t get excited
Don't get excited, don′t get excited, don't get excited
Don′t get excited, don't get excited, don't get excited
Don′t get excited, don′t get excited, don't get excited
