Lyrics for Little Atoms by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | All This Useless Beauty | | Track: | Little Atoms | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | I arose and Marigold lay down with Curious Iris
Cherry gave to Victor her prudence and her
virus
FOr the sake of purity I can recall the time and place
Between wisdom and murder she
gave up her
Immaculate face
My poor belated chastity fell foul
of grown up
games
With false and lovely modesty
I can recall the names I'll miss
In the particle
of me that cares for this
I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
Patience has her
virtue still but every grace
must have its price
I through some felicity may spin a
tale
of constant vice
I took my better nature out, drowned it
in the babbling
stream
Took the blossom of my youth
and blew it all to smithereens
My poor
belated chastity fell foul
of grown up games
With false and lovely modesty
I can
recall the names I'll miss
In the particle of me that cares for this
I betrayed those
little atoms with a kiss
And if you still don't like my song
Then you can just go to
hell
I don't care if I'm right or wrong or if
my typewriter can spell
But I cannot
promise you I've said "goodbye"
to childish things
There's still some pretty insults
left
and such sport in threatening
My poor belated chastity fell foul
of grown
up games
With false and lovely modesty
I can recall the names I'll miss
In the
particle of me that cares for this
I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
And for
the sake of clarity
They are "faith", "hope", and "charity"
In the particle of me that
cares for this
I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
