Elvis Costello - Damnation's Cellar Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Did anybody notice, over marmalade and eggs
  • In between the princess legs
  • What with wars and floods and beggars
  • Not to mention stocks and shares
  • If you have a moment to spare
  • Can you write and reassure me that I have seen
  • Theyre constructing a time machine
  • There will be no need for the obituary pages
  • We can have any hero from the bygone ages
  • til the truth emerges, the argument rages
  • Chorus:
  • The major and the minor
  • Turn from tallow into tar
  • Should we leave them in their place?
  • Down in damnations cellar
  • When any form of deity that you might enjoy
  • Can be conjured with a test-tube and a flame
  • If its out there then science can explain it
  • Or at least remove the blame
  • And if theres is anyone youd like to see again
  • The speak up quickly
  • Send us back da vinci then we dont have to ponder
  • The maddening smile of la giaconda
  • The critics say nijinsky, the dancer, of course
  • While the punters would probably prefer the horse
  • Youll find its quicker than history, cheaper than divorce
  • Chorus
  • Bring back liberace or ollie and stan
  • Shakespeare will have to wait his turn
  • Elvis presley and puccini shall return
  • I suppose we live and learn, though its hard to believe as we
  • Cheerfully burn
  • Its curious
  • Some will call for justice.
  • There are murders to solve
  • What about hitler? or at least lee harvey oswald
  • Give us this day and everything we squander
  • Anyone beautiful
  • Somebody blonder
  • Theyll never please mankind, so lie back and enjoy it
  • Stop press: theyve just decided to destroy it
  • Chorus
