Elvis Costello - Miss Macbeth Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • All the children testified that miss macbeth
  • Wore a fishbone slide in her cobweb tresses
  • Her eyes were black like first foot coal, clutched as white as chalk-dust
  • Her fingers sweated india-ink and poison-pen letters
  • There is a hungry hanging tree, just below your bedroom window
  • You can hear her take a broom to beat out a tattoo on the ceiling
  • Her bloodless face ran red inside but was she
  • Really evil, was she only pantomime
  • Now the chalk on the wall says that somebody
  • Saves, that somebodys face has just been washed off the pavement
  • Into a puzzle where petrol will be poisoned by rain
  • Miss macbeth saw her reflection
  • As confetti bled its colours down the drain
  • Chorus:
  • And everyday she lives out another love song
  • Its a tearful lament of somebody done wrong
  • Well how can you miss what youve never possessed?
  • Miss macbeth
  • Well we all should have known when the children paraded
  • They portrayed her in their fairytales, sprinkling deadly nightshade
  • And as they tormented her she rose to the bait
  • Even a scapegoat must have someone to hate
  • And everyday she lives out another love song
  • Youre up there enjoying yourself, and I know its wrong
  • Well how can you miss what youve never possessed
  • Miss macbeth
  • Sometimes people are just what they appear to be
  • With no redemption at all
  • We try to walk upright when we cant even crawl
  • Miss macbeth has a gollywog she chucks under
  • The chin and she whispers to it tenderly then sticks it on a pin
  • And it might be coincidence, but a boy down
  • The lane, that she said went white as he could do, then doubled over in pain
  • Chorus
