Elvis Costello - Almost Ideal Eyes Lyrics
Here she comes with her almost ideal eyesAnd her flawless skin and her petulant poutThe memory of such a long blond alibiStill makes me want to shout out loudYou ************ when you clear your head my dearYou cant come out here in those stolen clothesTelling me all about some mysteryI hope she isnt one, I hope she isnt one of thoseAlmost ideal eyesViewed through a rosey hueSo beautiful, trustingYou find liberal is an insult now and care is what you pay forBe sure of what youre wishing for, be careful what you pray forWhen you look into those almost idealLove is smiles, he will hypnotize you wildHe tries to analyze your dreamsFill you up with all his big ideas while he really wants to make youScream out loud at the phony innocenceAnd pained pretence and the dismal rage.The vacant lot that thankfully time forgotWhere you never have to act, you never have to act your ageAlmost ideal eyesViewed through a rosey hueSo beautiful, trustingYou find stupid is a compliment and thrill is what you play forBe sure of what youre wishing for, be careful what you pray forWhen you look into those almost ideal eyesIn the spirit(? ) all your friends look uglierAnd you find youre wearing an evening gownWeeping over some tiny broken birdWhile the sky is decoratedShocking pink and a dirty shade of brownAnd you think you need to be tranquilizedA feat that may fit to your new careerWhatever you invent youll never be content withAlmost ideal eyesViewed through a rosey hueSo beautiful, trustingRebellion is just currency, the moon is what you pay forBe sure of what youre looking for, be careful what you pray forWhen you look into those almost ideal eyesHere she comes, here she comes now.....
