Viewing Lyrics for Miss Macbeth:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Miss Macbeth | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 1 | | | | Lyrics: | All the children testified that Miss Macbeth
wore a fishbone slide in her cobweb tresses
Her eyes were black like first foot coal, clutched
as white as chalk-dust
Her fingers
sweated india-ink and poison-pen
letters
There is a hungry hanging tree, just below your
bedroom window
You can hear her take a broom to beat out a
tattoo on the ceiling
Her bloodless face ran red inside but was she
really evil, was she only pantomime
Now
the chalk on the wall says that somebody
saves, that somebody's face has just been
washed
off the pavement
Into a puzzle where petrol will be poisoned by rain
Miss Macbeth saw her
reflection
As confetti bled it's colours down the drain
Chorus:
And
everyday she lives out another love song
It's a tearful lament of somebody done wrong
Well
how can you miss what you've never
possessed
Miss Macbeth
Well we all should
have known when the
children paraded
They portrayed her in their fairytales, sprinkling
Deadly Nightshade
And as they tormented her she rose to the bait
Even a scapegoat
must have someone to hate
And everyday she lives out another love song
"You're up
there enjoying yourself, and I know
it's wrong"
Well how can you miss what you've
never
possessed
Miss Macbeth
Sometimes people are just what they appear to be
With no redemption at all
We try to walk upright when we can't even crawl
Miss
Macbeth has a gollywog she chucks under
the chin and she whispers to it tenderly
Then
sticks it on a pin
And It might be coincidence, but a boy down
the lane, that she said
"went white as he could
do," then doubled over in p | | | |
