Elvis Costello piosenki

All the words you say to me Have music in them All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism And a selfish boy looks through a prism And says what is But never asks what isn't But a voice contains many precious things It laughs And then it sings And all the l...

White knuckles came down to put the frighteners on I believe she's the one that he's got his heart set on It doesn't matter if your face doesn't fit There's no charge for changing it Oooh ooh What are you doing You see right through him You don't have to take...

The hunted look, the haunted grace The empty laugh that you cultivate You fall into that false embrace And kiss the air about her face Who do you think you are? The tres bon mots you almost quote From your quiver of literary darts A thousand or so tuneless vi...

We may seem happy like everything's alright But from the outside looking in Everything's uptight But deep down inside we're covering up the pain It's an old thing It's a soul thing But it's a real thing Pray tell what's gonna happen to brother Who's gonna hel...

Why don't you love me like you used to do? How come you treat me like a worn out shoe? My hair is still curly and my eyes are still blue Why don't you love me like you used to do? Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin' in a long, long while We don't...

Why is Daddy not here? Are you crying? Why? Does he still love me? Will you take care of me? If you both love me so Why don't you love each other? Mummy's gone missing Daddy's on fire Daddy's on fire Daddy's on fire 

This cruel old country has driven me down Teased me and lied, teased me and lied I've only sad stories to tell to this town My dreams have withered and died Once I was bending the tops of the trees Kind thoughts in my head, kind voices to hear Then I took up...

How many times can you jump out of the cupboard Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered You can live forever in a split second of fame Come on down the price is right what's your name While a crocodile makes good shoes and a dog may change hi...

What are you girls gonna tell your mother? I don't want to hear another word about young lovers or hiding your boyfriend in the cupboard. She's been to see the doctor, so you hope that she recovers. You act dumb. You say you're so numb. You say you don't come...

The homecoming fanfare is echoing still Now tapping on tables and sensing a chill Poor families expecting a loved one's return Only son and some charlatan specter, oh, when will they learn? You hung the moon from a gallows in the sky Choked out the light in h...

See how the elements obey? Eyes are blue Skies are grey Nothing I do can make you stay I'm glad it will rain today You left me standing alone Although I thought that we could not be parted But if I'd only known That this would be the last loving remark You le...

There is a place Underneath the staircase Where I keep the evidence Of what once would offer peace In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride Should I pick the locks? Should I peek inside? Can I stand the sight of those happy days? Should I strike a...

Take your tiny feet out of your mother's shoes Or there is going to be a terrible scene It's not just the lipstick drawn on crooked When they find how wicked we are How wicked we have been How I've been tempted How you tripped at every step You tripped at eve...

You turned to me And all at once I knew I was betrayed My eyes met yours just down the darkened path Where both of us had strayed Nothing good can come out of this I know it may not be But just then you turned to me And I thought for a moment Like the fool t...

She makes me go so wrong (yeah, you kept me away, you know you did) I've loved her oh, so long (so why don't you come right out and say it, stupid? ) She makes me do things I don't want to do I don't know why I should be telling you I know that you want her to...

You need protection from the physical art of conversation Though the fist is mightier than the lip, it adds the aggravation Bridge and Chorus: I got the password I got persuasion A proposition for invasion of your privacy Give yourself away and find the fake...

I've seen love go by my door It's never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow. Been shooting in the dark too long When somethin's not right it's wrong Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go. Dragon clouds so high above I've only known careless...

Here I stand with head in hand, Turn my face to the wall. If she's gone I can't go on, Feeling two foot small. Ev'rywhere people stare, Each and ev'ry day. I can see them laugh at me, And I hear them say. Hey, you've got hide your love away. Hey, you've got...

You tell me you married an angel She's made heaven out of your home You say there couldn't be rainbows in heaven 'Cause she's brought you happiness that you've never known You may hate me for what I've to tell you But you'll thank me for setting you right Whi...

I see you laughin' Right in my face I guess I'm gonna have to Put you in your place Because if silence was golden You couldn't raise a dime Because your mind is on vacation And your mouth is working overtime You're quoting figures And dropping names You're t...
