| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |

Music: Mac Manus (4:18)
Dear sweet filthy world,
my wife or whoever reads this
I think that I've lived too long
With all of my promise
unfulfilled
But there is a veil drawn over all of that
I know you'll probably say,
"Spare us the melodrama"
"I don't know how he chose the pills or the stupid revolver"
I'm
out of luck
I'm not that strong
My hands, your neck
I might have
wrung
Don't try to find me
I'm not worth anything anymore
I am not leaving you
with all of your problems
The biggest one is me
Life is dark
Cold as the
sea
Embrace me in my anguish
Put seaweed in my hair and vow that you won't cry
because
I've gone
I can't go on, I can't go on, I can't go on
I must close now | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
