Elvis Costello - Mr. Feathers Lyrics
They looked at her this way ever since she was a girlMr. Feathers, Mr. FeathersThe echo in every smile that would curl into a leerOh my dear, Mr. Feathers is nearThe counter is fallingSomething is spoilingIt's really appallingYou pleased and you promisedYou never saw it throughNobody knows the damage that we doDo you carry it with you?She passed him out in the streetHe suddenly seemed so frailAs her fast heart beatShe should kick him anywaySharpen her nails...For eyes that strayed where hands should never strayShe thought she was wanton ever since she was a girlMr. Feathers, Mr. FeathersThe kindness in every smile that would curl into a sneerOh my dear, Mr. Feathers is nearHer lover is callingSomething is spoilingIt's really appallingYou pleased and you promisedYou never saw it throughNobody knows the damage that we doThe damage that we do
