Elvis Costello - You Stole My Bell (Soundtrack Version) Lyrics
There is a placeUnderneath the staircaseWhere I keep the evidenceOf what once would offer peaceIn a deep blue velvet box, filled with joy and prideShould I pick the locks? Should I peek inside?Can I stand the sight of those happy days?Should I strike a match, burn them all away?'Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chimeAnd the clock spins 'round but it won't keep timeThere are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless worldBut not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love youBut not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love youSo here we areBut it's not quite like we thoughtThose things were priceless thenNow I know, they can't be boughtIn a deep blue velvet box, fastened with a pinShould I lift the lid? Should I look within?Was it my last chance or my first mistake?Is it just a step that we'll never take?'Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chimeAnd the clock spins 'round but it won't keep timeThere are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless worldBut not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love youBut not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love youBut not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you
