Lyrics for Joe Porterhouse by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Goodbye Cruel World | | Track: | Joe Porterhouse | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | The children sit upon the stairs
High above a valley of tears
Don't let them see you
crying that way oh no
Oh no Joe Porterhouse
Is not gone forever
He'll be back
another day
Don't let them see you crying that way
Chorus
Please don't wake him
let him sleep
It's a moment she can keep
Like an old bus ticket or a
photograph
Resting on the mantelpiece
While for the wicked there is no peace
She says
it's not his time to go
Why we were nearly lovers years ago
Now what is left for
me
Among the broken branches of the family tree
Heart like an anchor
Arms like
cable
It's stood all alone on an iron turntable
Don't let them see you crying that way oh
no
The sun beats down
It's cracking the flags
Boys who should know
better
Are stamping out fags
Don't let them see you laughing that
way
Chorus
Oh no Joe Porterhouse
Is not gone forever
He'll be back
another day
Don't let them see you crying that way | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
