Elvis Costello - Back on My Feet songtekst

Je score:

                     

 (mccartney/macmanus)

How many days does the wet weather lack? 

I wanna go where the clouds when they roll back

Reveal a man in an old mack

Living on a park bench

Sitting on his own



Cut to the rain as it rolls down the glass

But then she leaves through the lightning and thunder

You see a man going under

This is how it happens

This is what he said



"i don't need love

Temptation is sweet

Give me your hand

Till I'm back on my feet

You're always telling me

About my misery

I'll see things you'll never see

Don't pity me"



Focus in on the breath of a man

Takes a brown paper bag from his knapsack

Between his whispers and wisecracks

He's looking for the wishing

Screaming at the sky



"i don't need love

Temptation is sweet

Give me your hand

Till I'm back on my feet

You're always telling me

About my misery

I'll see things you'll never see

Don't pity me"



"i'll be fine again

Be all right without you

I'll stand up again

Kick off the puzzlementtoo"



Cut back again to a girl walking by

To the beat of her old shoes and rolled socks

Climb on an invisible soapbox

Laughing at the traffic

Shouting at the word



"i don't need love

Temptation is sweet

Give me your hand

Till I'm back on my feet

You're always telling me

About my misery

I'll see things you'll never see

Don't pity me"



"i'll be fine again

Be all right without you

I'll stand up again

Kick off the puzzlementtoo"



Seeing life through the eyes of a man

As he lives and he dies by a simple titan

Well there you gothough you trying hard to know

When he's there on his legs

Sees the kinks where the people all go

Things start to fade as he pulls down the shade

And the picture made is in glorious cinemascope
