The passion project is doing something a little different today.   My name is Remedy Robinson. And, for fun, this inaugural lyrics-only slow drag, let\u2019s listen to brilliant lyrics of \u201cThe Boy Named If,\u201d from the album of the same name, released in 2022. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello.   I'm a lucky so and so A fortunate stiff You said you never knew me but I'm the one you want to be with If I tumble from a tightrope or leap from a cliff I won't be dashed to pieces I'm the boy named "IF"   If I disappear and I slipper from your view I just step upon a crack and I won't come back Imagine me And I'll imagine you too   In a hollow of the bed sheet Or a picture in a frame I'm vivid as a summer's day Then never seen again Who'll pay the taxman? Who'll place the blame? Who'll point into an empty room And whisper my name?   If I disappear and I slipper from your view You will step upon a crack and I won't come back Imagine me And I'll imagine you too   Take my hand We'll go to "Magic Lantern Land" Take my hand See the pictures they've projected Take my hand We'll fill our pockets up with sand Dance in frantic passes 'Til the grains all turn to glasses Drums begin to navigate, the band strikes up a riff No one will believe you but the Boy Named If   Who'll pay your entrance fee? Who'll leave a tip? Who'll say, "Listen here, Sunshine Don't you give me no lip" Who broke your favorite heart? Who stops and never starts? Who kiss you stupid? It must be something you did Who'll keep you satisfied after a lover's tiff? It must be some other guy not\u2026 The Boy Named If   If I disappear and I slipper from your view You will step upon a crack and I won't come back Imagine me And I'll imagine you too   Take my hand We'll go to "Magic Lantern Land" Take my hand See the pictures we've projected Take my hand We'll fill our pockets up with sand Dance in frantic passes 'Til the grains all turn to glasses . . . Again, this has been a slow drag lyrics only reading of \u201cThe Boy Named If\u201d from 2022\u2019s album of the same name. Thank you for listening.   And, of course, until next time, adieu my little ballyhoo   Reference: Elvis Costello Wiki Resource: The Boy Named If https:\/\/www.elviscostello.info\/wiki\/index.php?title=The_Boy_Named_If_(song) ","author_name":"Slow Drag with Remedy","author_url":"http:\/\/slowdragwithremedy.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
