Elvis Costello - Michievous Ghost (feat. Mary Coughlan) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • She came dancing right before my eyes
  • She said shed came to warn me
  • Before it dawned on me
  • I went walking on the blank hillside
  • Where the sunset falls
  • Where the sunset dies
  • She gave me love, she told me lies
  • That most mischievous ghost
  • She was in disguise, she was in disguise, she was in disguise.
  • He started to whistle, they bought him a flute
  • He was talking in tongues, they swore he was mute
  • He scoffed and blasphemed, they said it was beautiful
  • Busted a button, they bought him a suitcase full
  • They coloured him cricket and laced him up tight
  • As he drew on their days resurrected his nights
  • He raved in the dark, he went out in a blaze
  • "there you go," they said, "hes good for nothing and lazy"
  • With scandal and shame they slandered his name
  • They told him to freeze, they damned him to roast
  • Disappointed that he passed away peacefully
  • Never [trying/dying] to be a mischievous ghost
  • They dug him up quick with a polish and lick
  • They powdered him up till he only looked sick
  • The hinge in his backbone would bend to applause
  • But his dancing was not quite as lively of course
  • These are the rewards immortality affords
  • Bullied and bribed and beaten to bliss
  • [harrington slacks/harrods in slacks] and tormental laments
  • Of going away and not being missed
  • With scandal and shame they slandered his name
  • They told him to freeze, they damned him to roast
  • Disappointed that he passed away peacefully
  • Never dying to be a mischievous ghost
  • With the green beer and the shamrock tattoos
  • Singing his songs of the battles we lose
  • And [when/will] you come home again so we can murder you
  • What would you do if they took his word
  • With forty-eight million to join in the toast
  • Move over my darling
  • Mischievous ghost
  • Mischievous ghost
