Who is the spell caster? These songs are based in reality, CLEARLY. I do know from Hortense’s memoirs that an Austrian General was sent to “protect” but really to handle Hortense when they were driving her from France. Queen Hortense put up with everything and the General accused her of being frivolous for being so passive. She explained that what he was seeing was resignation and from then on he started to genuinely support her and was afraid the others would accuse him of having fallen under her “spell”.
Someone these days is throwing spells out with everything they’ve got. Can you spot that glamour stare yet? I used to post pictures of celebrities doing that trick. So much corroboration these days. There is a thin line between sexy and predatory.
The Spell That You Cast lyrics
Elvis Costello
The spell that you cast, well, it seems to be wearing off fast
(Spell that you cast)
Come back, baby, 'cause I don't think that I can last
(The spell that you cast)
And I wonder whether
You got some other kind of lover
That you like to please
Better than me
Don't think I can take it
How am I gonna break it?
(Spell that you cast)
(The spell that you cast)
The spell that you've woven, well, it seems to be coming undone
(The spell that you cast)
Come back, baby, or at least tell me where you are going
(The spell that you cast)
And you know quite well
That I'm not a jealous kind of feller
But they look in your eyes
And they're all hypnotized
Gonna miss you madly
'Cause I love you sadly
(Spell that you cast)
(The spell that you cast)
Jimmy, come quickly 'cause I feel quite sickly
Oh, the spell that you cast
You're like a gangster's Molly with a cannonade volley
Oh, the spell that you cast
Oh, the spell that you cast
Don't think I can take it
How am I gonna break it?
(Spell that you cast)
(The spell that you cast)
