I'm In The Mood Again

From The Elvis Costello Wiki

Hail to the taxis They go where I go Farewell the newspapers that know more than I know Flung under a street-lamp still burning at dawn I'm in the mood again I walk the damp streets rather than slumber Along past the fine windows of shameless and plunder But none of their riches could ever compare I'm in the mood again I don't know what's come over me But it's nothing that I'm doing wrong You took the breath right out of me Now you'll find it in the early hours In a lover's song I lay my head down on fine linens and satin Away from the mad-hatters who live in Manhattan The Empire State Building illuminating the sky I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood again.
