Elvis Costello - What If I Can’t Give You Anything But Love?

"What If I Can't Give You Anything But Love?" Lyrics

I'll tell you my secrets and you'll do the same
I'll lend you my name as an alias

I'll take the moonlight falling on your face
And the stars from up above
What if I can't give you anything but love?

Once hearing confession was my profession
Telling me things I don't need to know

So he opened up that door for you
The kind of thrill we'll never have
What if I can't give you anything but love?

Do you love me? It's dangerous to answer in the dark
Do you need me? Hold on while I negotiate that spark
Anticipate an impulse, tell me what I'm supposed to do
Do you want me? Do you want me like I want you?

When this is over I'll go back to my wife
She’s the man that I live with in that other life
When this is over I'll go back to your dreams
But I'm not quite the man that I used to be

I recall the moonlight falling on your face
You're all that I adore
What if I can't give you anything more?

Don't you need me, baby?
Not one little bit?
Don't fix me with that deadly gaze, it's a little close to pity
This time is overdue, tell me what I'm supposed to do
Do you want me? Do you want me like I want you?

Your eyes wouldn't meet me as we passed on the stairs
The night's not all it's cracked up to be

I recall the moonlight falling on your face
And the stars from up above
What if I can't give you anything but love?

I recall the moonlight falling on your face
The stars from up above
What if I can't give you, what if I can't give you
What if I can't give you anything but love?

Elvis Costello - The Crooked Line

The Crooked Line Lyrics

Life isn't a game won or tied
Lost by either side
Then some people's idea
Of the straight and narrow didn't appeal to me

If you were my life's companion
As it seems you may turn out to be
I'm contemplating
How I hope I'll find you waiting
At the very end of this crooked line

Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness
Through light into darkness
Then some people remark
The worthwhile fire never started without that spark

If you were my life's companion
As it seems you may turn out to be
I'm contemplating
How I hope I'll find you waiting
At the very end of this crooked line

Elvis Costello - Mr. And Mrs. Hush

“Sham situations really abound in certain quarters. When people behave in an inhumane manner, there’s often a financial reason for it. Why does someone have to do so many horrible things just to reach an audience?”

Mr. & Mrs. Hush lyrics

I tripped through a house
of mirrors
Distorted my suspicions and fears
(I heard a whisper)
There is a place where those
secrets begin
(They had a list)
I gave my name and they invited
me in
(But here's the twist)
A sign flickered and it started
to flash
"Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Hush"

Haven't you tired of that
darkness yet?
Didn't you cry your heart out?
It's only a dream.
What is it about love you
can't accept?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
To be
Mr. and Mrs. Hush

But it was something I just
couldn't understand
Until I slipped my finger into
the band
Just think what those eyes
might betray
Stare hard and now don't
look away

Haven't you tired of that
darkness yet?
Didn't you cry your heart out?
It's only a dream.
What is it about love you
can't accept?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
To be
Mr. and Mrs. Hush

I don't know if I'm deep down
right inside her heart
Or outside her door
I don't know if I have the key
to either
Uncertain if I should take
her hand or leave her

(I thought I saw her)
It's a game of blindfold and bluff
(I thought I saw her)
You know I love you
Is it ever enough?
(I thought I saw her)
Oh, what did I know
(I thought I saw her)
Heigh-ho and there you go
(I thought I saw her)
A voice that caresses and heels
like spurs
(I thought I saw her)
What if you walked in with some
other fella
(I thought I saw her)
Heat is rising
And red is the colour
(I thought I saw her)
Green is the colour of my true
love's eyes
(I thought I saw her)
And green is the colour of
those jealous disguises

Haven't you tired of that
darkness yet?
Didn't you cry your heart out?
It's only a dream.
What is it about love you
can't accept?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
To be
Mr. and Mrs. Hush

Elvis Costello - Suspect My Tears

"Suspect My Tears" Lyrics

Do you remember how to say please?
You've had your own way for such a long time
Your lashes sweep down, I dry your cheek
You think I'm powerless when you speak
You may have something, I don't deny
You look so beautiful when you cry

If I seem unconcerned
Perhaps it's time you learned

I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
When oh when you need it

Do you remember how bad it felt?
Big eyes would fill up, your lip would tremble
You want to hurt me, but then you melt
You always promise to lose control

I learned the trick that you used to play
I'm tired of you having it your own way
With the power to persuade
Beginning to cascade

I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
When oh when you need it

If you hear me weeping
I may be cheating or just laughing inside
If you're suspicious
That I'm sly and vicious
Here's your chance to decide
Two hypocrites collide

I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
When oh when you need it
Oh when you need it

I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
When oh when you need it
Oh when you need it

I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears

George Ivan Morrison - Sweet Thing

Sweet Thing lyrics

Van Morrison

And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

Ohhoow sweet thing, sweet thing, hey yeah
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing

And I shall drive my chariot down your streets and cry
"Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite and I don't know why"
And you shall take me strongly in your arms again
And I will not remember that I even felt the pain
We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never grow so old again

Ohhooow sweet thing, sweet thing, oohoow sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing

And I will raise my hand up into the nighttime sky
And count the stars that's shining in your eye
And just to dig it all an' not to wonder, that's just fine
And I'll be satisfied not to read in between the lines
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain
And I will never, ever, ever, ever grow so old again

Ohoow sweet thing, ohoow sugar baby, sweet thing
Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes
And your saint-like smile

Bobby "Blue" Bland - Turn On Your Love Light

Turn On Your Love Light

Lyrics

Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standin' in the dark, said your love for me was dyin'

Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my knees
Turn on your lights let it shine on me shine on your love light
Let it shine on me let shine, let it shine

When I get lonely in the middle of the night
And I need you darlin' to make things all right

So come on baby, baby please and I'm beggin' you baby cause I'm on my knees,
Turn on your lights let it shine on me
Turn on your love light let it shine on me
Let it shine, let it shine, let it

Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standin' in the dark, shine your love for me was dark

Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my knees
Turn on your lights let it shine on me turn on your love light
Let it shine, let shine
