Lyrics for Black And White World by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Get Happy | | Track: | Black And White World | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 90 | | | | Lyrics: | I was looking at the black and white world
it seemed so exciting
if you'd only put me back
to back with that girl
when the night's inviting
with just a little lighting
there'll
never be days like that again
when I was just a boy and men were men
you'd never go
from moment to moment
you're the living double of a single fiction
you're the very colour
poets compliment
cause you feel the fingers friction
it's a freeze frame, still it's real
life
you don't want to look
cause you've seen the film and read the book
I was
looking at the black and white world
trying to name some pin-up
in those days she was just
a beautiful girl
now she's framed and hung up
I thought she was younger until
I saw
her last night in close detail
though they all fade away when you're so pale
it's
more than just a physical attraction
starts with a face and ends up a fixation
but you're
never going to feel a fraction
the way it used to work on your imagination
when you were
looking at a black and white world | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
