Elvis Costello - Worthless Thing Lyrics

Font:

Align:

How many times can you jump out of the cupboard

Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered

You can live forever in a split second of fame

Come on down the price is right whats your name

While a crocodile makes good shoes and a dog may change his coat

I cant change whats written on your face tonight and I quote

Chorus

Oh I wish you could see

Quite how much you could mean to me

You worthless thing

If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome

I might pay this kings ransom

You worthless thing

They commit blue murder along union avenue

Then they sell you souvenir matches

Nightclubs full of grave robbers from memphis, tennessee

And las vegas body snatchers

And hes carrying a warning cant you see how his eyes glint

Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate fingerprint

Chorus

All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to tatters

Do you know how tall he was cos that is all that really matters?

Do you know his mothers last name do you think that hes divine?

Youve seen the film youve read the book

Youre drinking vintage elvis presley wine

Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large

Theyll cut her down to size on television

Shes available and beautiful, but with more time to devote

Theyre going to take this cable now and stick it down your throat

So this is an obituary which should be right and fitting

For every clockwork cat and conceivable kitten

Chorus
