| The lyric of The Stamping Ground, Elvis Costello's song The stamping ground The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Coming in with the same blokes going home with the same jokes if you ever go missing I know where you ll be found : the stamping ground. The big fella on the front door knows your face. The barman pretends that he s saved you a place but when your back is turned they say she s older than she tells. I could stand the main attraction but not the clientelle. The stamping ground The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Coming in with the same blokes going home with the same jokes if you ever go missing I know where you ll be found : the stamping ground. Everybody knows evrybody s trouble who comes in alone who leaves as a couple. When they seen you comingbabe they act like they re pleased to meet you. Say "It s very nice to know you but I wouldn t want to be you." The stamping ground The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Going home with the same blokes going home with the same jokes if you ever go missing I know where you ll be found : the stamping ground. You talk like you don t have a brain in your head.? You act like you don t have a care in your bed. Th lights are on there s no one home it scares you to death. You stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath. The stamping ground The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Going home with the same blokes going home with the same jokes if you ever go missing I know where you ll be found : the stamping ground. The stamping ground. The stamping ground. The stamping ground. The stamping ground.
