Lyrics for Worthless Thing by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Goodbye Cruel World | | Track: | Worthless Thing | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | HOw many times can you jump out of the cupboard
Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets
discovered
You can live forever in a split second of fame
Comeon down the price is right
what's your name
While a crocodile makes good shoes and a dog may change his coat
I can't
change what's written on your face tonight and I quote
Chorus
Oh I wish you could
see
Quite how much you could mean to me
You worthless thing
If you were ten feet
taller and almost handsome
I might pay this king's ransom You worthless thing
They
commit blue murder along Union Avenue
Then they sell you souvenir matches
Nightclubs full
of grave robbers from Memphis, Tennessee
And Los Vegas body snatchers
And he's carrying a
warning can't you see how his eyes glint
Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate
fingerprint
Chorus
All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to
tatters
Do you know how tall he was 'cos that is all that really matters?
Do you know his
mother's last name do you think that he's divine?
You've seen the film you've read the book
you're drinking vintage Elvis Presley
Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as
large
They'll cut her down to size on television
She's available and beautiful, but with
more time to devote
They're going to take this cable now and stick it down your throat
So
this is an obituary which should be right and fitting
For every clockwork cat and concievable
kitten
