Lyrics for When It Sings by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | When It Sings | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | All the words you say to me
Have music in them
All the sorrows and the joys like
magnetism
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
And says what is
But never asks what
isn't
But a voice contains many precious things
It laughs
And then it
sings
And all the lies that we can tell
To our foolish selves
Maybe this is the
love song that I refused to
Write her when I loved her like I used to
And I fear my heart
may spin and fracture
Like tears of stone falling from a statue
But a voice contains
all that's true and false
Then cries for someone else
And for some honest tenderness
So
I must confess
All the words you say to me
Have music in them
All the sorrows and
the joys like magnetism
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
And says what is
But
never asks what isn't | | | | Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link | |
