45
Elvis Costello Song Lyrics
Bells are chiming for victory There's a page back in history 45 They came back to the world that they fought for Didn't turn out just like they thought 45 Here is a song to sing to do the measuring What did you lose? What did you gain? What did you win? Nine years later a child is born There's a record, so you put it on 45 Nine years more, if we're lucky now Nine-year-old puts his money down 45 Every scratch, every click, every heartbeat Every breath that I held for you 45 There's a stack of shellac and vinyl Which is yours now and which is mine? 45 Repeat chorus Bass and treble heal every hurt There's a rebel in a nylon shirt But the words are a mystery, I've heard 'Til you turn it down to 33 and 1 3 'Cos it helps with the elocution Corporations turn revolutions 45 So don't you weep and shed Just change your name instead What do you lose when it all goes to your head? I heard something peculiar said: Perhaps he's got a shot and now he's dead 45 Bells are chiming and tears are falling It creeps up on you without a warning 45 Every scratch, every click, every heartbeat Every breath that I bless I'd be lost, I confess 45 |
