Lyrics for Favourite Hour by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Brutal Youth | | Track: | Favourite Hour | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 85 | | | | Lyrics: | Figure hanging on a leather band
Pa consults the watch he cups in his hand
The jewel
movement measures lost and vanished time
Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold earth and
quicklime
Chorus:
So stay the hands, arrest the time
'Till I am captured by
your touch
Blessings that don't count
Small mercies and such
The flags may
lower
As we approach the favourite hour
Now there's a tragic waste of brutal
youth
Strip and polish this unvarnished truth
The tricky door that gapes beneath the
ragged noose
The crippled verdict begs again for the lamest
excuse
-chorus-
Put out my eyes so I may never spy
Waving branches as
they're waving good-bye
Their vile perfume brings to my mouth a bitter taste
The
murmurring brooks that best speak up
It's a terrible waste
-chorus-
