Elvis Costello - Passionate Fight Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Obscure the late afternoon with a drape
  • Don't let him follow her latest escape
  • Or the fanfare of taxis that needlessly played
  • As a forty watt bulb burns a hole in the shade
  • Then they got into a passionate fight
  • Now she's lost in the shadows thrown over at twilight
  • At the Empire Hotel they first came face to face
  • Pieces would fall off all over the place
  • And there in the debris they'd laugh and recline
  • Tell me my dear are you more or less mine
  • Then they got into a passionate fight
  • She says now this isn't love it's what you do in spite of it
  • And I can't go on with it night after night after night
  • Camphor and cigarettes perfume the scandal
  • Now he's counting the hinges and watching the door handle
  • As he hangs the clothes on the back of the door
  • Perfectly matching outfits that she wore
  • Women come quietly and some remain with their pity
  • But others know the pain of the passion of fight
  • Though the chance they will win is impossibly slight
  • He cowers before them so invitingly
  • And in the long run they'll be chastised and hated
  • Or walk out frustrated or humiliated
  • That is the pointless delight of a passionate fight
  • This isn't love what you do in spite of it
  • I can't go on night after night after night after night after night after night...
