Lyrics for Suffering Face by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Suffering Face | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | Well, there's an old man's fantasy
Put in a young girl's mouth
Like cheap pink lipstick
Smeared on her wedding dress
Will you look what you've done to her
Will you look at
this disgrace
Well, it's all over
Your suffering face
If we were chrome, we would be
rusty
If we were thirst, we would be quenched
You don't need the same old rivet gun
You
need a brand new wrench
Someone to pull you down on the ground
And cover you with
kisses
Once I was the jewel of your heart
Now I'm only semi-precious
But if I seem so
preoccupied
It's just my alibi--I'm all broken up inside
Even the words of love seem cruel
and crass
When you're tough and transparent as armored glass
I prepared a bed for
you
Then I sprayed perfume
Upon the wilted roses
That I'd scattered 'round the
room
You came in gentle as a lamb
And turned into a terror
And you left your love and
other threats
In the steam fading on my bathroom mirror
Well, it's an old man's
fantasy
Put in a young girl's mouth
Like cheap pink lipstick
Smeared on her wedding
dress
Will you look what you've done to me
Now you've put me in my place
Oh, it's all
over
It's all over
It's all over
Your suffering face | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
