Graham Parker
Don’t Get Excited
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 favourite bitches you know what gets me off

But try to reach a vital part of me My interest level's 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, on't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited, on'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 level's 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
