Elvis Costello ~ Pay It Back


Stop thief! You're gonna come to grief If you don't take a little more care You're gonna get more than the family plan From this one shoestring affair I may be crazy buy I can't contemplate Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate (CHORUS) Once of these days I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days Once of these days I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days And then they told me I could be somebody If I didn't let too much get in my way And I tried so hard just to be myself But I keep on fading away And then the lights went out, I didn't know what to do If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you (REPEAT CHORUS) I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance Let's not get stuck in the past I love you more than everything in the world I don't expect that will last They told me everything was guaranteed Somebody somewhere must've lied to me (REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE) more free lyrics

Stop thief! You're gonna come to grief

If you don't take a little more care

You're gonna get more than the family plan

From this one shoestring affair

I may be crazy buy I can't contemplate

Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate

(CHORUS) Once of these days I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

Once of these days I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

And then they told me I could be somebody

If I didn't let too much get in my way

And I tried so hard just to be myself

But I keep on fading away

And then the lights went out, I didn't know what to do

If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you

(REPEAT CHORUS)

I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance

Let's not get stuck in the past

I love you more than everything in the world

I don't expect that will last

They told me everything was guaranteed

Somebody somewhere must've lied to me

(REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE)

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
