Lyrics for The World And His Wife by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Punch The Clock | | Track: | The World And His Wife | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 83 | | | | Lyrics: | The family circle gather round from very far and near
To pass around the same remarks they
passed away last year
The little girl you dangle on your knee without mishap
STIRS
SOMETHING IN YOUR MEMORY
AND SOMETHING IN YOUR LAP
But it's a living
This is
the life
For the world and his wife
The world and his wife
The kissing cousins
slip outside to cuddle and confess
She says sweet nothing at all it's much more of a
mess
The conversation melts like chocolate down their open jaws
As the juniper berry slips
down just like last night's drawers
To tell the truth our Mum ran off with someone else's
father
WENT FOR TWO WEEKS' HOLIDAY IN TARAMASALATA
Daddy went out with the rubbish and he
kept on walking
Between Mum and the walls
God only knows who does the
talking
But later on in the evening through the tears and fol de rol
Come the
sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol
Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home
overseas
WITH A BLINDFOLD AND A NATIONAL ANTHEM
