Elvis Costello Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve Lyrics

Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve Lyrics

Pardon me, madam, my name is Eve

I think it's time for you to leave

I don't believe that we have met

That's one thing you would not
forget

In another time or life

When I was his only wife

When
I was his only bride

Before I was torn out from his side.



In
the orchard apples are withering

In the shadows something is
slithering

So go along there is you must

And try to do as I
suggest

He's just a gathering of dust.



And if he can't
recall my name

Tell him to take his time

It's worth recovering

Look at me and what I'm covered in

I'm covered in shame.



I
came back looking for my man,

Wandered everywhere and then

Stood
outside and gazed upon a beautiful garden,

A shimmering pond

See
the sunlight on the leaves that dapple

Do you see my little teethmarks on
the apple?

Don't close the door on my hand I'm offering

There is
always someone on the outside

Doing all of the suffering.



In
the orchard apples are withering

In the shadows something is
slithering

But in another time or life

When I was his only wife

When I was his only bride

Before I was torn out,

Before I was torn
out,

Before I was torn out from his side.



Pardon me, madam,
my name is Eve,

Pardon me, madam, my name is Eve

I think it's time
for one of us to leave.
