Elvis Costello & The Michael Leonhart Orchestra - Shut Him Down
Shut Him Down lyrics
Can this faint paint
Feeble fingerprint
That line of chalk
Do more than talk?
Or say “I'm innocent”
Then walk away
Beyond the blade
The plough and stars our dreams invade
Say something once
Does it make it true?
To me
To you
And everyone you knew
Shut him down
Shut him down
Did you run him through?
A thousand times you didn't
A hundred times you do
In the night
In the shade
In the void of the celluloid
In the cunning of the cool breeze
Waiting with a chill
Hidden in the dark trees
For cut of sudden spill
Say something once
Does it make it true?
To me
To you
And everyone you knew
Shut him down
Shut him down
Did you run him through?
A thousand times you didn't
A hundred times you do
Shut him down underground it's astounding
The sound that surrounds you were sleep now you found and aroused
So get up
Doubt enter the mind you gotta purge it
Praise for an end to the weak like Sunday service
Walk in it, world might be dark but I'm in the right spirits
That voice of doubt don't gotta listen although you hear it
One time that it don't make it true
A thousand times to make your mind up and make it through
Swiss
Then drained to pale
By the cunning and the cruel
The camera and projector
The running of the rule
The licking of the tailpiece
The spinning of the spool
Say something once
Does it make it true?
To me
To you
And everyone you knew
Shut him down
Shut him down
Did you run him through?
A hundred times you didn't
A thousand times you do
Blocking freedom of association is a massive infringement of our rights as humans.
I Can't Say Her Name lyrics
Elvis Costello
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 powеrless and proud
And I don't feel ashamed
Oh, but I can't say her name
And that's all
Mariah Carey - Without You
Without You Lyrics
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
No, no, no, no, I can't live
(No, can't live)
If living is without you (no, I can't live)
I can't live
I can't give anymore
Can't live (no, can't live)
(No, I can't live)
Have the patterns shown who shot Kennedy yet?
Elvis Costello - Mr. And Mrs. Hush
Why are secret societies the matchmakers these days? What do they get out of it? When someone gets locked into a secret society marriage what are they supposed to do if it’s an absolutely miserable situation? What recourse does someone have against the ones who own almost every thing every where? Who tells the secret societies what they’re going to force into existence?
"Mr. & Mrs. Hush" lyric
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
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
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
Mr. and Mrs. Hush
Mr. and Mrs. Hush
Mr. and Mrs. Hush
George Ivan Morrison - In Search Of Grace
In Search Of Grace lyrics
In search of grace
Can't find no trace
How could she just disappear from the street?
Some remember, none recall
Just when she slipped off the radar
It was somewhere between 67 or eight
Men, they are concerned with her fate
People lit up when they saw her face
All was well with a sense of place
In search of grace
But I can't find no trace
How could she just disappear from our streets?
Some remember, none recall
Just when she went off the radar
Somewhere between 67 or eight
Don't know what happened, become of her fate
Got to get back to that sacred space
That's why I'm always in search of grace
All the people lit up when they saw her face
All was with some sense of place
Somebody said she went away
Well, I'm always searching for grace
It was somewhere between 67 or eight
She seemed to disappear from our state
Some remember, none recall
Just when she went off the radar
All the people lit up when they saw her lovely face
All was well, all was well with a sense of place
All was remembered, peace in the night
Well, I'm always searching for grace
Elvis Costello - Dishonor The Stars
"Dishonor The Stars" Lyrics
If you wake and chance to look above you
There's one I named to show how much I love you
Hanging up high
Poets long have written and have sung
Of moonlight and some distant satellite
And when we're young we wish upon them
Other men may only dream to kiss you
But it's not a thrill like this
Put your lips a little closer to my cheek
Then whisper, then speak
So, tell me if you know
How deep can this thing go?
Honey will still desire the flowers
And there will be a love like ours
Until the sky dishonours the stars
What in the world would all this amount to?
If I can't tell you how much I want you
On such a night the sky might dishonour the stars
Disown and dishonour the stars
Poets long have written and have sung
Of moonlight and some distant satellite
And when we're young we wish upon them
Other men may only dream to kiss you
But it's not a thrill like this
Put your lips a little closer to my
Cheek then whisper, then speak
So, tell me if you know
How deep can this thing go?
Honey will still desire the flowers
And there will be a love like ours
Until the sky dishonours the stars
What in the world would all this amount to?
If I can't tell you how much I want you
On such a night the sky might dishonour the stars
Disown and dishonour the stars
Elvis Costello - He’s Given Me Things
"He's Given Me Things" Lyrics
He's given me things you never would have
And if you did you'd want them back
Forgiven me things I didn't know that
I had done, but just faded to black
He's given me time and consolation
Some verses to read and lines to say
I will stay here for a while now
He call me "child" now
But it works that way
He's given me things you couldn't guess at
I don't mean jewels although they were fine
A way to depart, one way to enter
A right to dismiss upon a whim
When I close the door and you're supposing
I kick up my heels and then I scream
"Why was I chosen?" You'll never know
What I give to him
He's given me things you never thought of
Because they were not yours to give
So take this pill and tranquilize
And roll your eyes at the husbands
Not the customer's wives
He's forgiven me trials and tears and tantrums
And even all my false alarms
You sat there amused while I was crying
And just seemed to sigh but that's what money can buy
And now I know why I come back to him
And now I know why you'll never do
Who are you?
Out there with one penny
You are so many
And we are so few
So cover the canvas if you're leaving
There's a bowl in the hallways to wash your hands
If the waters runs black please leave some silver
Then step past the glass and never come back
I'm living up here and you can see me
Yes, you can look but you can't touch
'Cause you don't belong, the air is thin here
You may asphyxiate my dear
For didn't you tell me "You should hold me"
"Oh please, you must hold me, as if I were hung"
To think you were exciting when love was frightening
But I was so young
He's given me things you never dreamed of
Where hopes are dashed and trash is praised
He has an awful lot of money
The past can be bought and then erased
Rusty - Maureen And Sam
"Maureen & Sam" lyrics
Maureen and Sam will amaze you with songs
That only could come from a star
With a comical dance and a glance from afar
They're just trying to please and will be if you give them a chance
Oh my God did you hear what they said about the way that I talk?
Hold my head in the air
The lights and the magic have faded away
Maureen and Sam will continue to smile
Though their audience mumble and stumble in the aisle
That first hello and the hasty goodbye
The backdrop is crumbling and dust is all that remains
I dare you to say that I'm cheap and I'm mean
Because you know that it's me holding the scene in the end
The lights and the magic have faded away
Maureen and Sam never were a success
Though their picture still hangs on the dressing room wall
The glory that comes, the glory that goes
Please don't you cry and it's no use to talk
You're no longer as young as before
And as Maureen lies dying the crowd scream for more
And the drummer still sits in the background waiting for his day to arrive
