Lyrics for The Other Side Of Summer Macmanus by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Mighty Like A Rose | | Track: | The Other Side Of Summer Macmanus | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 77 | | | | Lyrics: | The sun struggles up another beautiful day
And I felt glad in my own suspicious
way
Despite the contradiction and confusion
Felt tragic without reason
There's malice
and there's magic in every season
CHORUS
From the foaming breakers of the poisonous
surf
The other side of Summer
To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf
The
other side of Summer
The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the
palace
The blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chalice
The pale pathetic promises that
everybody swallows
A teenage girl is crying 'cos she don't look like a
million
dollars
So help her if you can
'Cos she don't seem to have the attention
span
CHORUS
Was it a millionaire who said "imagine no possessions"?
A
poor little schoolboy who said "we don't need no lessons"
The rabid rebel dogs ransack the
shampoo shop
The pop princess is downtown shooting up
And if that goddess if fit for
burning
The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning
Madman standing
by the side of the road saying
"Look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at
my
eyes"
Now you can't afford to fake all the drugs your parents used
to
take
Because of their mistakes you'd better be wide
awake
CHORUS
The mightiest rose
The absence of perfume
The casual
killers
The military curfew
The cardboard city
An unwanted birthday
The other
side of summer
The dancing was desperate, the music was worse
They bury your dreams
and dig up the worthless
Goodnight
God bless
And kiss "goodbye" to the earth
The
other side of summer | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
