Worthless Thing - Elvis Costello & The Attractions[00:00:01]
Written by:Elvis Costello[00:00:06]
How many times can you jump out of the cupboard[00:00:08]
Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered[00:00:12]
You can live forever in a split second of fame[00:00:16]
Come on down the price is right what's your name[00:00:20]
While a crocodile makes good shoes and[00:00:24]
A dog may change his coat[00:00:26]
I can't change what's written on your face tonight and I quote[00:00:28]
Oh I wish you could see[00:00:34]
Quite how much you could mean to me[00:00:37]
You worthless thing[00:00:41]
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome[00:00:43]
I might pay this king's ransom[00:00:47]
You worthless thing[00:00:51]
They commit blue murder along union avenue[00:00:56]
Then they sell you souvenir matches[00:01:00]
Night clubs full of grave robbers from memphis Tennessee[00:01:04]
And Las Vegas body snatchers[00:01:08]
And he's carrying a warning can't you see how his eyes glint[00:01:12]
Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate fingerprint[00:01:16]
Oh I wish you could see[00:01:22]
Quite how much you could mean to me[00:01:25]
You worthless thing[00:01:28]
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome[00:01:30]
I might pay this king's ransom[00:01:35]
You worthless thing[00:01:39]
All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to tatters[00:01:43]
Do you know how tall he was ''cause[00:01:47]
That is all that really matters[00:01:49]
Do you know his mother's last name do[00:01:51]
You think that he's divine[00:01:53]
You've seen the film you've read the book[00:01:55]
You're drinking vintage elvis presley wine[00:01:57]
Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large[00:02:02]
They'll cut her down to size on television[00:02:05]
She's available and beautiful but with more time to devote[00:02:09]
They're going to take this cable now and[00:02:14]
Stick it down your throat[00:02:16]
So this is an obituary which should be right and fitting[00:02:18]
For every clockwork cat and conceivable kitten[00:02:21]
Oh I wish you could see[00:02:28]
Quite how much you could mean to me[00:02:30]
You worthless thing[00:02:35]
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome[00:02:36]
I might pay this king's ransom[00:02:41]
You worthless thing[00:02:45]
Oh you worthless thing[00:02:48]
Oh you worthless thing[00:02:52]
