Forgive Her Anything — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

(written by elvis costello, transcribed by craig ciccone w/ bolans corrections)



Oh, a tv went off like three day old milk

That shook this town down better than most

And it always was less of idea and more of a boast

Oh, youre burning in the bloom of life

til youre powder in the grave

Or youre pounding in the counter beggin for more

til you evaporate





Youd forgive her anything

If you look like you, my pretty miss

I wonder where you are tonight

And this place becomes pityless





Oh, I couldnt sleep, but I cant complain

Oh, this wont hurt a bit, oh, this wont hurt again

When the roof comes down and the walls move in

Oh, he didnt know it could feel like that

And your face turned away and the day turned black

And the rain fell like a curtain

Oh, its my turn to begin

To forgive her anything





Youd forgive her anything

If you knew what I know

Youd forgive her anything

So where did all my pride go?





Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh





Oh, oh, oh, oh, youd forgive her anything

If you knew what I know

Youd forgive her anything

So where did all my pride go?
