Elvis Costello - Basement Kiss Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Lucy Grace can't show her face down in the North End Road
  • For in Belgravia
  • Rumours have been whispered and suggestions have been made
  • Did you sell your friends out when the heat got too intense?
  • You say you like the danger but it's only a pretense
  • You say you need the money
  • When everybody knows you can always fall back on your inheritance
  • Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
  • Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
  • Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
  • Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
  • Who's that sneaking 'round the door?
  • You can't come here no more
  • Can't you go home again?
  • She used to sit alone for hours
  • Spend her evenings watering dried flowers
  • When her mother came to stay and finally went to bed
  • Lucy Grace was in the front room shooting through your head
  • She tried to take your breath away and give you something else instead
  • Next year she'll serve her function in that Audrey Hepburn hat
  • It still won't suit her much but she'll get over that
  • She'll be pale and feign indifference as they're handling out the prizes
  • Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom
  • And her ugly sister's tranquillizers
  • Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?
  • When you hurt so easily and you try so hard
  • Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
  • Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
  • Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
  • Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
