Lyrics for Human Hands by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Human Hands | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Oh darling how I miss you
I'm just
the mere shadow of my former selfishness
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
With only the
blue light of the TV on
Lip reading threats and false alarms
There's a boy somewhere holding
hands with himself
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn
Whenever I put my foot in
my mouth and you begin to doubt
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Do I have to draw you
a diagram?
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands
With the kings and
queens of the dance hall craze
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
But the girls don't
listen to your line anymore
Now you're part of someone else
On the factory floor and
you still say ";Wheres the action?";
Now you manufacture happiness
And get sold on the cheap
for someone's satisfaction
(chorus)
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Are
you living in this world sometimes I wonder
In between saying you've seen too much and saying
you've seen it all before
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
You know I love you
more than slightly
Although I've never said it like this before
