I noticed, after hearing Sam and Dave's original version of I Can't Stand
Up
For Falling Down', that Costello has done something quite unusual: the
original song is quite slow. Elvis's is fast, but the speed that the lyric
is delivered is almost identical to the original.

Work like the ponies in coalmines.
Dance like the teardrop explodes.
Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet.
Sing as though your little throat would burst.
