Elvis Costello - Georgie And Her Rival Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Georgie grew to hate her name
  • It sounded like a tiny man
  • And the one she had said "I can't see you, but I'll call you
  • whenever I can"
  • Sometimes the phone would ring, when she was half-asleep
  • A voice would drag her down with its suggestions
  • Though she often felt cheated, she never felt cheap
  • CHORUS
  • Well heaven knows what fills the heart and makes you feel so
  • alive
  • It's impossible to tear apart
  • Georgie and her rival
  • It was half-past February
  • And he hadn't called since New Year's Day
  • Maybe he'd found another woman to say those words no chapel girl
  • should say
  • Her mother would phone and always keep talking
  • She'd try to be polite, making faces
  • But somewhere in the back of her mind, her rival was stalking
  • CHORUS
  • Her rival would always wait till the eighth or ninth bell
  • He'd be desperate anyway and drunk as well
  • She always liked to hurt him to prove he was prepared
  • To love her anyway that she wanted
  • So she could tell which she preferred
  • He sat up with his address book trying to think what mood he's in
  • His finger traced past Georgie's name to someone who needed less
  • persuading
  • He didn't hear through her disguise he didn't leave her in a rush
  • Just like the promise that he left on her machine
  • That almost made her blush
  • The radio plays a lover's symphony
  • "The number you have dialed has been re-directed"
  • Now she puts him on the speaker-phone
  • Whenever she has company
  • CHORUS
