Lyrics for Veronica by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Veronica | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 77 | | | | Lyrics: | Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
What goes on in that place in the
dark?
Well I used to know a girl
And I could have sworn that
Her name was
Veronica
Well she used to have
A carefree mind of her own and
A delicate look in her
eye
These days I'm afraid
She's not even sure
If her name is
Veronica
CHORUS:
Do you suppose,
That waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone
to hide?
And all the time she laughs
At those who shout
Her name and steal her
clothes
Veronica
Veronica
Did the days drag by?
Did the favours
wane?
Did he roam down the town
All the time?
Will you wake from your
dream,
With a wolf at the door,
Reaching out for Veronica
Well it was all of
sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street
Where she lived
And a young man
sailed on
A ship in the sea
With a picture of Veronica
On the "Empress of
India"
And as she closed her eyes
Upon the world and
Picked upon the bones
Of
last week's news
She spoke his name out loud again
Repeat chorus
Veronica
sits in her favourite chair and
She sits very quiet and still
And they call her a
name
That they never get right and
If they don't then nobody else will
But she used
to have
A carefree mind of her own,
With devilish look in her eye
Saying "You can
call me
Anything you like,
But my name is Veronica"
Repeat chorus | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
