Elvis Costello Forgive Her Anything Lyrics

Forgive Her Anything Lyrics

(Written by Elvis Costello, Transcribed by Craig Ciccone w/ Bolan`s 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, you`re burning in the bloom of life
`Til you`re powder in the grave
Or you`re pounding in the counter beggin` for more
`Til you evaporate
You`d forgive her anything
If you look like you, my pretty Miss
I wonder where you are tonight
And this place becomes pityless
Oh, I couldn`t sleep, but I can`t complain
Oh, this won`t hurt a bit, oh, this won`t hurt again
When the roof comes down and the walls move in
Oh, he didn`t know it could feel like that
And your face turned away and the day turned black
And the rain fell like a curtain
Oh, it`s my turn to begin
To forgive her anything
You`d forgive her anything
If you knew what I know
You`d 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, you`d forgive her anything
If you knew what I know
You`d forgive her anything
So where did all my pride go?
