Episode Of Blonde (Album Version) - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]
Written By:Elvis Coste[00:00:02]
I spy for the Spirit of Curiousity[00:00:08]
All the scandals of each vain monstrosity[00:00:12]
I gossip and I pry and I insinuate[00:00:16]
If the failure is great[00:00:19]
Then it tends to fascinate[00:00:21]
A tornado dropped a funnel cloud with twenty tons of rain[00:00:23]
Though she had the attention span of warm cellophane[00:00:27]
Her lovers fell like skittles in a 10-pin bowling lane[00:00:31]
But nothing could compare with that explosion of fame[00:00:35]
So you jumped back with alarm[00:00:39]
Every Elvis has his army[00:00:42]
Every rattlesnake its charm[00:00:44]
Can you still hear me[00:00:46]
Am I coming through just fine[00:00:48]
Your memory was buried in a simple box of pine[00:00:50]
Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak[00:00:53]
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek[00:01:01]
It's such a shame you had to break the heart[00:01:08]
You could have counted on but the last thing you need is another[00:01:13]
Episode of blonde[00:01:23]
Revolving like a jeweller's figure on a music box[00:01:25]
Spangled curtain parted and a night-club scene unlocks[00:01:28]
Pinned and fixed and fastened in a follow spot[00:01:32]
Arms thrown out to everyone she's giving all she's got[00:01:35]
To the last gasp of a wounded bandeon[00:01:40]
Tiny man imploring to the cieling fan[00:01:43]
This stolen feeling[00:01:46]
Amplified up through a busted speaker[00:01:47]
Blaring blasting advertising distorted beyond reason[00:01:50]
Into the street where petty crime-coats shadow panic drunkards[00:01:55]
Half out of the taxi cab the barker seized my elbow[00:01:59]
He thought I was another lonely likely pilgrim looking for St Telmo[00:02:02]
Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak[00:02:09]
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek[00:02:17]
It's such a shame you had to break the heart[00:02:24]
You could have counted on but the last thing you need is another[00:02:29]
Episode of blonde[00:02:39]
I tried to keep a straight face but you know it never pays[00:02:41]
He would stare into those eyes and then vacation in her gaze[00:02:44]
She was a cute little ruin that he pulled out of the rubble[00:02:48]
Noe they are both living in a soft soap bubble[00:02:52]
The film producer's contemplating entertaining suicide[00:02:56]
The picture crumpled in his fist his run away child bride[00:03:00]
The timepiece stretched across a wrist[00:03:03]
She couldn't care less cast aside[00:03:05]
The scent that so repelled him that he swore insecticide[00:03:07]
And there's a farewell note to mother[00:03:11]
That will conclude Your loving Son[00:03:14]
Oh tell your other children not to do as I have done[00:03:18]
Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak[00:03:26]
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek[00:03:33]
It's such a shame[00:03:41]
It's such a shame[00:03:44]
Shame[00:03:46]
Shame[00:03:47]
A shame you had to break the heart[00:03:49]
You could have counted on[00:03:52]
But the last thing you need[00:03:56]
The last thing you want is another[00:04:00]
Episode of blonde[00:04:06]
Is another[00:04:12]
Episode of blonde[00:04:14]
Is another[00:04:20]
Episode of blonde[00:04:21]
So an artist drags a toothbrush across the first thing that he sees[00:04:23]
And names the painting Christ's Last Exit into Purgatory[00:04:27]
Receiving secret messages from an alien intelligence[00:04:31]
Paying off his stalker it's a legitimate expense[00:04:35]
So paste up pictures of those shrill and hollow girls[00:04:39]
With puckered lips[00:04:41]
She's a trophy on your arm[00:04:42]
A magnet for your money clip[00:04:44]
The moral of this story is the sorry tale to say[00:04:46]
