Elvis Costello My Brave Face Lyrics

My Brave Face Lyrics

(McCartney/MacManus) 
My brave, my brave, my brave face 

I`ve been living in style 
Unaccustomed as I am 
To the luxury life 
I`ve been hitting the town 
And it didn`t hit back 
I`ve been doing the rounds 
Unaccustomed as I am 
To the time on my hands 
Now I don`t have to tell anybody 
When I`m gonna get back 
Ever since you went away I`ve had the sentimental inclination not to change a
single thing 
As I pull the sheet back on the bed I want to go bury my head in your pillow 

Now that I`m alone again 
I can`t stop breaking down again 
The simplest things set me off again 
Take me to that place 
Where I can find my brave face 
Where I can find my brave face 
My brave, my brave, my brave face 

I`ve been living a lie 
Unaccustomed as I am 
To the work of a housewife 
I been breaking up dirty dishes 
And been throwing them away 
Ever since you left I have been trying to compose a "Baby, would you
please come home" note meant for you 
As I clear away another untouched TV dinner from the table I made for two 

Now that I`m alone again 
I can`t stop breaking down again 
The simplest things set me off again 
Take me to that place 
Where I can find my brave face 
Where I can find my brave face 
My brave, my brave, my brave face
