Lyrics for Room With No Number by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Goodbye Cruel World | | Track: | Room With No Number | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 60 | | | | Lyrics: | Picture a hotel room
Clothes scattered across the floor
Covers pulled back from the
pillow
A sign hung on the door
Two lovers locked up tight
Through the endless days
and nights
Hiding something they can't show
Something no-one must
know
Chorus
There's a room withut a number
While the sign outside says
there's
no vacancy as you take your key
They smile at you so
understandingly
She cried out in the night
Woke the porter from his sleep
He
grinned slyly to himself
As he went to fetch his keys
Look what llove has brought them
to
This terrible nightmare
His or hers he could not tell
Chorus
And
I wish he could be
The man he was before he was me
A girl arrived at first
light
And enquired if they'd been seen
And why the numbers ran from twelve
Missing
out thirteen
And they said oh my darling
Put it down to superstition
Try to avoid a
scandal
And don't arouse suspicion
They re-arranged the furniture
They even papered
over the door
There's a room without a number
While the sign outside says
there's
no vacancy as you take your key
They smile just so you know
