Elvis Costello - The Sharpest Thorn Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I wore my finest suit of clothes
  • The sharpest thorn defending the rose
  • Hot as a pistol
  • Keen as a blade
  • The sharpest thorn upon parade
  • And it's the same most every year
  • Ghosts of the dear departed are near
  • We raise our glasses and we cheer
  • Should old acquaintance disappear
  • Just as we wipe away a tear
  • Archangel Michael will lead the way
  • Archangel Gabriel is ready to play
  • Although we know we must repent
  • We hit the scene and look for sins
  • That haven't even been invented
  • The strongest cage that guards the prize
  • The longest lash that covers your eyes
  • A sight no eyes are meant to know
  • Then on the third day he arose
  • Archangel Michael will lead the way
  • Archangel Gabriel is ready to play
  • Although we know we must repent
  • We hit the scene and look for sins
  • That haven't even been invented
  • So Good and Evil were having a fight
  • It lasts much longer than any one night
  • It may last longer than a life
  • And turn a mistress into a wife
  • And so confetti fills the air
  • My head is aching
  • My pockets are bare
  • I didn't recognise their warning
  • Then I wasn't born the sharpest thorn
  • I wasn't born the sharpest thorn
  • I wasn't born the sharpest thorn
  • I wasn't born the sharpest thorn
  • I wasn't born the sharpest thorn
