[00:00.00]Elvis Costello - The Crooked Line
[00:09.00]
[00:13.72]Life isn't a game...won or tied...lost by either side...
[00:26.18]Then some people's idea of the straight and narrow
[00:34.87]Didn't appeal to me
[00:38.06]
[00:38.81]If you were my life's companion
[00:44.97]As it seems you may turn out to be
[00:49.07]I'm contemplating
[00:51.74]How I hope I'll find you waiting
[00:57.22]At the very end of this crooked line...
[01:04.81]
[01:29.72]Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness
[01:38.09]Though light into darkness
[01:42.25]While some people remark
[01:47.45]No worthwhile fire
[01:50.67]Ever started without that spark
[02:47.03][01:55.17]If you were my life's companion
[02:52.91][02:01.32]As it seems you may turn out to be
[02:57.08][02:05.79]I'm contemplating
[02:59.99][02:08.74]How I hope I'll find you waiting
[03:18.43][03:11.86][03:05.27][02:14.12]At the very end of this crooked line...
