Lyrics for Who Do You Think You Are by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | The Juliet Letter | | Track: | Who Do You Think You Are | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | Words: Mac Manus/M.P. Thomas
Music: M. Thomas (3:29)
The hunted look, the haunted
grace
The empty laugh that you cultivate
You fall into that false embrace
And kiss
the air about her face
Who do you think you are?
The tres bon mots you almost quote
from your
QUIVER of literary darts
A thousand or so tuneless violins thrilling your
cheap
little heart
Who do you think you are?
My cigarette burns right down to
the ash, my coffee
cup is unstained
The waiter hovers close at hand
His courtesy
strained
Who do you think you are?
I close with my regards
Well I'm the
red-face gentleman
Caught in this picture postcard
Who do you think you
are?
Trying my best to make the best of your absence
Though the joke gets tired and
sordid
Sea-shell hearts get trampled under foot
Punchlines unrewarded
But even
at this distance it's not easy to accept
The vision that I chase returns when I least expect
it
I've fallen from your tired embrace
I kiss the air around the place that should be your
face | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
