Elvis Costello - Jimmie Standing In The Rain Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Third-Class ticket in his pocket
  • Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets
  • Tweed coat turned up against the fog
  • Slow coaches rolling o'er the moor
  • Between the very memory
  • And approaches of war
  • Stale bread curling on a luncheon counter
  • Loose change lonely, not the right amount
  • Forgotten Man of an indifferent nation
  • Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
  • Somebody's calling you again
  • The sky is falling
  • Jimmie's standing in the rain
  • Nobody wants to buy a counterfeited prairie lullaby in a colliery town
  • A hip flask and fumbled skein with some stagedoor Josephine is all he'll get now
  • Eyes going in and out of focus
  • Mild and bitter from tuberculosis
  • Forgotten Man
  • Indifferent nation
  • Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
  • Somebody's calling you again
  • The sky is falling
  • Jimmie's standing in the rain
  • Her soft breath was gentle on his neck
  • If he could choose the time to die
  • Then he would come and go like this
  • Underneath a painted sky
  • She woke up and called him "Charlie" by mistake
  • And then in shame began to cry
  • Tarnished silver band peals off a phrase
  • And then warms their hands around the brazier
  • Forgotten Man
  • Indifferent nation
  • Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
  • Somebody's calling you again
  • It's finally dawning
  • Jimmie's standing in the rain
  • Brilliantine glistening
  • Your soft plaintive whistling
  • And your wan wandering smile
  • Died down at The Hippodrome
  • Now you're walking off to jeers, the lonely sound of jingling spurs, the "toodle-oos" and "Oh, my dears" down at "The Argyle"
  • Vile vaudevillians applaud sobriety
  • There's no place for a half-cut cowboy in polite society
  • Forgotten Man
  • Indifferent nation
  • Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
  • Somebody's calling you again
  • It's finally dawning
  • Jimmie's standing in the rain
