Elvis Costello - Shatterproof lyrics

Your rating:


I see those newly weds

Their eyes wide and believing

They bill and coo at the mention of Chez Nous

Appearances can be deceiving



It's just a door and a window

Four walls and a roof

But a home of your own would be shatterproof

A door and a window

Four walls and a roof

But a home of your own would be shatterproof



We papered over all the cracks 

and painted a cat's lick and a promise

The landlord was a man of few words

and most of them were ominous



It's just a door and a window

Four walls and a roof

But a home of your own would be shatterproof

A door and a window

Four walls and a roof

But a home of your own would be shatterproof



It was nothing really to write home about

Then one day it all appears too much

Here comes my little hammer and its shatterproof touch



He said, "Be practical,

These are most unreasonable demands.

Forget about the broken spectacles 

and the damage to your hand."



It's just a door and a window

Four walls and a roof

And the doctors say I'm almost shatterproof
