Elvis Costello piosenki

Siren is bending, the radio humming Sun is breaking through and the storm is coming The score is obscure, the melody fractured It went by my window, refused to be captured I hope that I wake up in time Good King Neptune came flipping up my street He was a sa...

Is this is not a pretty tale? Is this not a riddle? A bow shoots arrows through the air A bow drags notes from a fiddle But who is the beau of poor girl's dreams? That a king may send to battle Is this not a pretty tale? Is this not a riddle? If red i...

I was hell-bent on destroying my powers of concentration While you were living like a saint And all the time the very one you trusted was washing off Somebody else's paint Now you've got yourself a brand new occupation Every fleeting thought is a pearl And be...

The man in the corner of this picture has a sinister purpose In the teeming Temple of the Railroad Kings He's planting a trashy paperback book for accidental purchase Containing all the secrets of life and other useless things But I can't bring myself to look...

Thank you for the flowers I threw them on the fire And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed God they were ugly children So you're the little bastard of that brother of mine Trying to trick a poor old woman Till I almost had a weakness Last week Cous...

I've been around the world in a plane I've settled revolutions in Spain But lately I'm so down hearted Cause I can't get started with you When I sell kisses in a bazaar The girls line up from near and from far I dig the fourth dimension But I get no attention...

I'm the living result I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much And I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel I can't stand up for falling down I can't stand up for falling down Simple though love is Still it confus...

I dreamed of my old lover last night I wonder if I spoke out loud And if by chance my husband overheard He put my face back in the crowd His eyes were clear and gentle then He kissed the troubles from my brow I long to fall to sleep again And I wonder how he...

Well, there's a difference in the way that you kissed me And there's a sadness in your eyes that you can't hide Why do you tremble when I hold you? I wonder if you feel the same I felt the chill, before the winter came But it's easy to say that I won't give i...

It's easy to do, it's not so easy to say I was talking to you when you took my tongue away I hear a melody and I feel so ashamed I got nothing you'd need and you're so hard to blame I hear a melody, I hear a melody I hear a melody and you're so hard to blame...

I once held her In my arms She said she would always stay But I was cruel And I treated her like a fool I threw it all away Once I had mountains In the palm of my hand And rivers to drink through everyday But I must have been mad I never knew what I had Until...

Why must I be so lonely? When so many people pass me by I've been waiting for oh so long now And yet I'm unable to answer why I can't be made to give up now Can you find room for me in your heart somehow? I wanna be loved I just wanna be loved I guess I'm a v...

Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell I don't think I can live without you And I know that I never will Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death I can't say anymore than "I love you" Everything else is a waste of breath I want you...
