Stella Hurt - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]
You should wear your red galoshes[00:00:09]
Walking o'er the city pride[00:00:11]
Streets are paved with[00:00:14]
Heaven's pennies[00:00:15]
Gutters full of suicides[00:00:17]
Teddy steadily fell from grace[00:00:22]
Somewhere near Arcadia[00:00:25]
Once she overheard a voice[00:00:27]
That she didn't hear on the radio[00:00:29]
Velvet gloves and country clubs[00:00:32]
Were never going to hold her[00:00:33]
Ringing the necks of silly[00:00:36]
Southern belles[00:00:37]
Who wanted to scold her[00:00:39]
Don't bring me down[00:00:44]
I'm trouble bound[00:00:46]
Blue song red alert[00:00:49]
Who made Stella hurt [00:00:52]
Teddy soon dropped out of sight[00:01:02]
Turned up in another town[00:01:05]
Changed her name for the spotlight[00:01:07]
Singing like a blue bird[00:01:10]
In a sequin gown[00:01:12]
She finally fell and married well[00:01:16]
But I knew it wouldn't last[00:01:19]
Reversing back into the limelight[00:01:21]
No one ever saw her[00:01:24]
Even half plastered[00:01:25]
Don't bring me down[00:01:29]
I'm trouble bound[00:01:31]
Blue song red alert[00:01:34]
Who made Stella hurt [00:01:36]
Then she saw those soldier boys[00:01:47]
Throw their bonnets in the air[00:01:50]
Self made men would[00:01:53]
Pledge their fortunes[00:01:54]
And dream of her[00:01:56]
And dream of her[00:01:59]
Generals in the commissary[00:02:10]
Opened up a case of wine[00:02:13]
Checked the perfume of the cork[00:02:15]
Said "Made in 1929"[00:02:17]
They used her up [00:02:23]
To raise morale[00:02:24]
For money and Old Glory[00:02:26]
Her voice was shot beyond repair[00:02:29]
But this is not the last[00:02:31]
Act of this story[00:02:32]
The night is black as cracked shellac[00:02:37]
Abandoned in an attic[00:02:39]
Stella is silent as the grave[00:02:41]
Until the needle drags her[00:02:43]
Through the static[00:02:46]
Don't bring me down[00:02:49]
I'm trouble bound[00:02:51]
Blue song red alert[00:02:54]
Who made Stella hurt[00:02:57]
