Elvis Costello - Harpies Bizarre Lyrics

Send "Harpies Bizarre" ringtone to your cell

He selects the plainest face form a spiteful row of girls

Elegant insulted women a flaw of cultured pearls

He drops a name or two she fails to catch

At last he's met his match unspoiled and unaffected

He wants her so much

She puts up half hearted resistance like she was taught to do

She's heard some of those small town playboys but this is something new

His promise seems dangerous she'd like to believe

He says "You'd better leave you've only got yourself to blame

Shame or deceive"

The waiting lines are long they never get too far

Everyone wearing that medal with pride Harpies Bizarre

I looked on but hesitated I failed to interrupt

You're so hard to tell the truth to so easy to corrupt

I'll memorize your face your tragic smile

The hurt look in your eyes as you betrayed yourself

To the part of him that dies

The waiting lines are long they never get too far

They're shinin' up their shoes to kick a falling star

You think you should be somebody but you don't know who you are

Everyone wearing that medal with pride Harpies Bizarre Harpies Bizarre
