ELVIS COSTELLO - Just About Glad lyrics

rate me

I'm just about glad that I knew you once

And it was more than just a passing acquaintance

I'm just about glad that it was a memory

That doesn't need constant maintenance

There are a few things that I regret

But nothing that I need to forget

For all of the courage that we never had

I'm just about glad

CHORUS:

Just about glad we didn't do that thing

Just about glad we didn't have that fling

Just about glad we didn't give it a try

Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye

And on the few times I rang to propose

There was a man there or so I suppose

The greatest lover that you never had

I'm just about glad

They called time and vodka and lime

In some far flung Canadian club

(Just about glad)

And there I was just waiting to fall

Like a toe just aching to stub

(Just about glad)

Later on I could never accept it

When you finally gave it all to him

(Just about glad)

And you said that my nurse was sweet

But her lamp was just beginning to dim

I'm just about glad

That we never did that thing we were going to do

I'm just about glad I can look you in the eye

But I can't say the same for you

And though the passion still flutters and flickers

It never got into our knickers

For all of the courage that we never had

I'm just about, I'm just about

I'm just about, I'm just about

CHORUS

And it's all just a stupid creation

Of my feverous imagination

If I'm the greatest lover that you never had

I'm just about, I'm just about

I'm just about, I'm just about

CHORUS

Is that a tear in your eye [3x]
