Elvis Costello - Chemistry Class

Beauty's on a budget but you take it on the chin
'Cause you have to do your duty taking orders from the kingpin

Chemistry Class lyrics

She throws back her hair and she shows you her mouth
The breath that I waste trying to ruin your life
Beauty's on a budget but you take it on the chin
'Cause you have to do your duty taking orders from the kingpin

Chorus:
You've got a chemistry class, I want a piece of your mind
You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine
Are you ready for the final solution? Oh Oh

They chopped you up in butcher's school
Threw you out of the academy of garbage
You'll be a joker all your life
A student at the comedy college
People pleasing people pleasing people like you
You've been around so long but you still don't know what to do

(Chorus)

Sparks are flying from electrical pylons
Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons
Ready to experiment, you're ready to be burned
If it wasn't for some accidents then some would never ever learn

(Chorus)

Elvis Costello - I Can't Say Her Name

It’s always interesting when Frankists became the world’s greatest defenders of “marriage and family”. Only when it’s convenient to their plans and schemes, I assure you.

I Can’t Say Her Name Lyrics

How can I show my face?
I'm a mess
And I fear I may confess
I'm a fool with or without her
Make up what you will about her
It's part of the game
I can't say her name

I've been left in the dark
Shine a light
Right in my eyes
You'll never make me talk
Alibis I must protect
An alias you won't detect
I won't place the blame
I can't say her name

I whisper it so soft and slow
When I think no one's listening
No one knows
The thought of her so strong and slow
Stays on my mind
I won't ever let her go

How can I go to sleep?
When I know all too well I'm in this thing too deep
It's all I can do not to shout about it
I don't need your pity
I'm powerless and proud
And I don't feel ashamed
Oh, but I can't say her name

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 - Party Girl

"Party Girl" lyrics

They say you're nothing but a party girl
Just like a million more all over the world
I know I shouldn't be raising my hopes so high
But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes
They'd settle for anything in disguise of love
Seen the party girls look me over
Seen 'em leaving when the party's over
They can't touch me now
You say you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything but time
Give it just one more try
Give it a chance
Starts like fascination
Ends up like a trance

Oh you'll never be the guilty party girl
Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world
Maybe I'll never get over the change in style
But I don't want to lock you up and say you're mine
Don't want to lose you or say goodbye
I'm the guilty party and I want my slice
But I know you've got me and I'm in a grip-like vise.

They can't touch me now
You say you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything
I would give you anything
I can give you anything but time

Give you anything but time [Repeats]

Before they became much more overt in their still quite sneaky campaign against her

Who do they push in your face and pump up? Who do they stomp on and what is the difference between the 2?

George Ivan Morrison was born on this day in 1945

Steal My Heart Away Lyrics

I can hear the sound of violins
I can hear the piper playin'
And every time the song begins
You just steal my heart away

And journey's longer than I thought, my love
There's lots of things get in the way
But every time I think of you
You just steal my heart away

Just like a morning in May like this
See the heather on the hill
There's a place way up the mountainside
Where the world keeps standing still

Just like the sunshine after rain, I'll come
To be with you will save the day
'Cause I know when I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

Just like a morning in May like this
We see the heather on the hill
There's a place up on the mountainside
Where the world is standing still

Just like the sunshine after rain, I'll come
To be with you will save the day
'Cause I know when I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

'Cause I know when I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away
'Cause I know when I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away
'Cause I know when I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

Elvis Costello - Congratulations

"Congratulations" Lyrics

Congratulations
Oh, seems like you've done It again
And I ain't had such misery
Since I don't know when
Oh, and I don't know when, oh, and I don't know when

I notice so many people
Slipping away
And many more waiting in the lines
In the courtrooms today
In the courtrooms today

Love is not a game
Love Is not a toy
Love's no romance
Love will do you in
And love will wash you out
And needless to say
You won't stand a chance, you won't stand a chance
I'm hungry for learning

Won't you answer me please
Can a man a woman
Live together in peace
Oh, live together in peace

"Dangerous" lyrics

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, it had to be good
Well I must be somebody looking, seeing I'm close to it
Maybe I'm getting close to the truth

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, it must've been good
Somebody said I was dangerous
I must be getting close to the truth
I'm not talking about wishful thinking
I'm talking 'bout calling 'em out, all their lies, lies
I'm not talking about wishful thinking
Why don't I make somebody cry?

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, but it must've been good
Somebody said I was dangerous
I must be getting close to the truth, alright, alright

Really, I was just looking for the evidence
I've been asking for it for over a year
I was just asking 'em for the evidence
I've been asking 'em now for over a year

Somebody said, well, I'm dangerous
Well, I must be getting, getting close to the truth, alright, hey

Somebody said it was about the data
Somebody else said it was about the dates
Somebody said does it really matter? I said yes
I said I want ya to show me, show me the proof

I've been asking for it, for the evidence
For now baby, we'll over a year
I've been asking for, innocent evidence
I've been asking it for now well over a year

Somebody said, give me the data
Somebody said it must've been about dates
Somebody said look it up on a computer
But I said man, it's a bit too late

Somebody said I was dangerous
Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, I was dangerous
It was something so bad, it must've been good

Somebody said I was dangerous
I must be getting closer to the truth
I said where is the evidence?
I just wanna see the proof

I said gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme some evidence
I wanna see, I wanna see some proof
Because

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, man that must've been good
Well, somebody said I was dangerous
Oh well, man
That means I'm getting close to the truth
Close to the truth

This album cover says so much!

How the innocent and honest have been framed by a massive BS story

George Ivan Morrison & Clare Teal - Carrying A Torch

Carrying A Torch - Lyrics

I'm carrying a torch for you
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it costs
To keep carrying a torch

Flame of love it burns so bright
That is my desire
Keep on liftin' me, liftin' me up
Higher and higher

You're the keeper of the flame
Girl, you burn so bright
Baby, why don't we reconnect?
Move into the light

I've been going to and fro on this
And I'm still carrying a torch
You must know how much it's worth
But I'm carrying a torch

Baby, you're the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Why, why, why, why, why, why
Why don't we reconnect
And move on further into the light?

I've been calling you on the phone
'Cause I'm carrying a torch
I can't do it all on my own
'Cause I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
Because I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
When I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
When I'm carrying a torch
