ELVIS COSTELLO - Town Cryer lyrics

rate me

I'm the town crier

And everybody knows

I'm a little down

With a lifetime to go

Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place

Why don't you take a good look at my face

Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip

They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip

I'm never going to cry again

I'm going to be as strong as them

They say they'd die for love

And then they live it out

They'll give you something to cry about

And suddenly you really fall to pieces

I'm the town crier

And everybody knows

I'm a little down

With a lifetime to go

Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place

Why don't you take a good look at my face

Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip

They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip

Love and unhappiness go arm in arm

Long suffering friends of your fatal charm

Isn't it a pity that you're going to get hurt

Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt
