Elvis Costello - Suit Of Lights Lyrics

Font:

Align:

While nat king cole sings welcome to my world

You request some song you hate you sentimental fool

And its the force of habit

If it moves then you ***** it

If it doesnt move you stab it

And I thought I heard the working mans blues

He went out to work that night and wasted his breath

Outside there was a public execution

Inside he died a thousand deaths

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they put him in a suit of lights

In the perforated first editions

Where they advocate the hangmans noose

Then tell the sorry tale of the spent princess

Her uncouth escort looking down her dress

Anyway they say that she wears the trousers

And learnt everything that she does

And doesnt know if she should tell him yes

Or let him go

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they put him in a suit of lights

Well its a dogs life in a rope leash or a diamond collar

Its enough to make you think right now

But you dont bother

For goodness sake as you cry and shake

Lets keep you face down in the dirt where you belong

And think of all the pleasure that it brings

Though you know that its wrong

And theres still life in your body

But most of its leaving

Cant you give us all a break

Cant you stop breathing

And I thought I heard the working mans blues

I went to work that night and wasted my breath

Outside theyre painting tar on somebody

Its the closest to a work of art that they will ever be

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

And they put him in a suit of lights

And they put him in a suit of lights
