Joe Porterhouse - Elvis Costello & The Attractions[00:00:01]
Written by:Elvis Costello[00:00:04]
The children sit upon the stairs[00:00:08]
High above a valley of tears[00:00:13]
Don't let them see you crying that way oh no[00:00:18]
Oh no Joe Porterhouse[00:00:27]
Is not gone forever[00:00:32]
He'll be back another day[00:00:33]
Don't let them see you crying that way[00:00:37]
Please don't wake him let him sleep[00:00:44]
It' s a moment she can keep[00:00:46]
Like an old bus ticket or a photograph photograph[00:00:48]
Resting on the mantelpiece[00:00:53]
While for the wicked there is no peace[00:00:55]
She says it's not his time to go[00:00:57]
Why we were nearly lovers years ago years ago[00:00:59]
Now what is left for me[00:01:07]
Among the broken branches of the family tree[00:01:11]
Heart like an anchor[00:01:25]
Arms like cable[00:01:27]
He stood all alone on an iron turntable[00:01:29]
Don't let them see you crying that way oh no[00:01:35]
The sun beats down[00:01:43]
It's cracking the flags[00:01:46]
Boys who should know better[00:01:48]
Are stamping out fags[00:01:50]
Don't let them see you laughing that way[00:01:54]
Please don't wake him let him sleep[00:02:00]
It' s a moment she can keep[00:02:02]
Like an old bus ticket or a photograph photograph[00:02:04]
Resting on the mantel piece[00:02:09]
While for the wicked there is no peace[00:02:11]
She says it's not his time to go[00:02:14]
Why we were nearly lovers years ago years ago[00:02:16]
Now what is left for me[00:02:23]
Among the broken branches of the family tree[00:02:27]
Oh no Joe porter house[00:02:41]
Is not gone forever[00:02:46]
He'll be back another day[00:02:48]
Don't let them see you crying that way[00:02:51]
