Elvis Costello - Stella Hurt Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • You should wear your red galoshes
  • Walking o'er the city pride
  • Streets are paved with heaven's pennies
  • Gutters full of suicides
  • Teddy steadily fell from grace
  • Somewhere near Arcadia
  • Once she overheard a voice
  • That she didn't hear on the radio
  • Velvet gloves and country clubs
  • Were never going to hold her
  • Ringing the necks of silly
  • Southern belles
  • Who wanted to scold her
  • Don't bring me down
  • I'm trouble bound
  • Blue song
  • Red Alert
  • Who made Stella Hurt?
  • Teddy soon dropped out of sight
  • Turned up in another town
  • Changed her name for the spotlight
  • Singing like a blue bird in a sequin gown
  • She finally fell and married well
  • But I knew it wouldn't last
  • Reversing back into the limelight
  • No one ever saw her even half-plastered
  • Don't bring me down
  • I'm trouble bound
  • Blue song
  • Red Alert
  • Who made Stella Hurt?
  • Then she saw those soldier boys
  • Throw their bonnets in the air
  • Self-made men would pledge their fortunes
  • And dream of her
  • And dream of her...
  • Generals in the commissary opened up a case of wine
  • Checked the perfume of the cork
  • Said "Made in 1929"...
  • They used her up, to raise morale for money
  • And Old Glory
  • Her voice was shot beyond repair
  • But this is not the last act of this story
  • The night is black as cracked shellac
  • Abandoned in an attic
  • Stella is silent as the grave
  • Until the needle drags her through the static
  • Don't bring me down
  • I'm trouble bound
  • Blue song
  • Red Alert
  • Who made Stella Hurt?
