[00:00.00]The Greatest Thing - Elvis Costello & The Attractions
[00:10.55]Everyone stopped when she walked into the room
[00:13.26]Isn't this the greatest thing
[00:15.30]Everyone own up but nobody could touch her
[00:18.01]Isn't this the greatest thing
[00:19.98]Punch the clock keep boxing clever
[00:23.06](Isn't this the greatest thing)
[00:24.93]You'll be young enough forever
[00:27.73](Isn't this the greatest thing )
[00:29.85]Isn't this the greatest
[00:32.22]Isn't this the greatest thing
[00:34.56]Isn't this the greatest thing
[00:36.72]The greatest thing
[00:39.12]I heard some new confection
[00:40.22]Said we can't afford to feel affection
[00:42.38](And it's the lastest thing)
[00:43.84]In and out of matrimony
[00:44.72]Never once removed the Sony
[00:46.61]('Cos it's a status thing)
[00:48.38]So girls like that above described
[00:49.60]Are not to be so easily bribed
[00:51.47](With a white frock and a ring)
[00:53.65]Punch the clock and in time you'll get pulled apart
[00:55.52]If you're married on paper and not in your heart
[00:58.45]But I won't be told that life with the one you love is sordid
[01:03.22]Just because some authority says you can't afford it
[01:10.11]It is the greatest thing
[01:15.20]It is the greatest thing
[01:19.53]It is the greatest thing
[01:24.28]It is the greatest thing
[01:27.24]Oh it's the greatest
[01:29.56]Isn't this the greatest thing
[01:32.00]Isn't this the greatest thing
[01:33.89]The greatest thing
[01:36.25]Since nights were long and days were olden
[01:37.67]Woman to man has been beholden
[01:39.20](But since then times have been changing)
[01:40.89]She sends back his tribute of a rose
[01:42.40]And says this ring is better suited for the nose
[01:44.33](He's always fingering)
[01:45.74]I punch the clock and it's okay
[01:50.56]I know a girl who takes my breath away
[01:55.68]And it's the greatest
[01:57.89]Isn't this the greatest thing
[02:00.35]Isn't this the greatest thing
[02:02.33]The greatest thing
[02:03.51]The greatest thing
[02:05.11]Isn't this the greatest
[02:07.43]Isn't this the greatest thing
[02:09.77]Isn't this the greatest thing
[02:11.84]The greatest thing
[02:12.99]The greatest thing
[02:14.02]The greatest thing
