Just About Glad — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Im just about glad that I knew you once

And it was more than just a passing acquaintance

Im just about glad that it was a memory

That doesnt need constant maintenance

There are a few things that I regret

But nothing that I need to forget

For all of the courage that we never had

Im just about glad



Chorus:

Just about glad we didnt do that thing

Just about glad we didnt have that fling

Just about glad we didnt give it a try

Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye



And on the few times I rang to propose

There was a man there or so I suppose

The greatest lover that you never had

Im just about glad



They called time and vodka and lime

In some far flung canadian club

(just about glad)

And there I was just waiting to fall

Like a toe just aching to stub

(just about glad)

Later on I could never accept it

When you finally gave it all to him

(just about glad)

And you said that my nurse was sweet

But her lamp was just beginning to dim



Im just about glad

That we never did that thing we were going to do

Im just about glad I can look you in the eye

But I cant say the same for you

And though the passion still flutters and flickers

It never got into our knickers

For all of the courage that we never had

Im just about, Im just about

Im just about, Im just about



Chorus



And its all just a stupid creation

Of my feverous imagination

If Im the greatest lover that you never had

Im just about, Im just about

Im just about, Im just about



Chorus



Is that a tear in your eye [3x]
