The Sharpest Thorn - Elvis Costello[00:00:03]

I wore my finest suit of clothes[00:00:05]

The sharpest thorn defending the rose[00:00:10]

Hot as a pistol[00:00:15]

Keen as a blade[00:00:17]

The sharpest thorn upon parade[00:00:19]

And it's the same most every year[00:00:24]

Ghosts of the dear departed are near[00:00:29]

We raise our glasses and we cheer[00:00:34]

Should old acquaintance disappear[00:00:39]

Just as we wipe away a tear[00:00:44]

Archangel Michael will lead the way[00:00:48]

Archangel Gabriel is ready to play[00:00:53]

Although we know we must repent[00:00:58]

We hit the scene and look for sins[00:01:03]

That haven't even been invented[00:01:07]

The strongest cage that guards the prize[00:01:12]

The longest lash that covers your eyes[00:01:17]

A sight no eyes are meant to know[00:01:22]

Then on the third day he arose[00:01:26]

Archangel Michael will lead the way[00:01:31]

Archangel Gabriel is ready to play[00:01:36]

Although we know we must repent[00:01:41]

We hit the scene and look for sins[00:01:46]

That haven't even been invented[00:01:50]

So Good and Evil were having a fight[00:01:55]

It lasts much longer than any one night[00:02:00]

It may last longer than a life[00:02:05]

And turn a mistress into a wife[00:02:09]

And so confetti fills the air[00:02:14]

My head is aching[00:02:19]

My pockets are bare[00:02:21]

I didn't recognise their warning[00:02:23]

Then I wasn't born the sharpest thorn[00:02:27]

I wasn't born the sharpest thorn[00:02:33]

I wasn't born the sharpest thorn[00:03:16]

I wasn't born the sharpest thorn[00:03:20]

I wasn't born the sharpest thorn[00:03:52]
