Whistle for the Choir

youtube

Well, it's a big, big city and it's always the same Can never be too pretty, tell me your name Is it out of line If I was to be bold to say, "Would you be mine"? Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen I know I may be on a downer, I'm still ready to dream Though it's three o'clock The time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely Why'd you say you're not lonely? Oh, you're a silly girl I know I heard it so It's just like you to come and go And know me No, you don't even know me You're so sweet to try Oh my, you caught my eye A girl like you's just irresistible

Well, it's a big, big city and the lights are all out But it's as much as I can do, you know, to figure you out And I must confess My heart's in broken pieces and my head's a mess And it's four in the mornin' and I'm walkin' along Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong And it's you, woo-hoo That's got me goin' crazy for the things you do

So if you're crazy I don't care you amaze me But you're a stupid girl Oh me, oh my, you talk I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry And only A girl like you could be lonely And it's a cryin' shame If you would think the same A boy like me's just irresistible

So if you're lonely Why'd you say you're not lonely? Oh, you're a silly girl I know I heard it so It's just like you to come and go And know me No, you don't even know me You're so sweet to try Oh my, you caught my eye A girl like you's just irresistible

I’ve been loosing my mind over Costello Music by the Fratellis for like a month now and every time I think I've gotten over it a song comes on from it and I come back full circle

For the Girl

youtube

La la la la la la........

Well she said I know but I just cant tell Everything you've just been saying Lucy was there as well in the dark The kids in the band were playing

No-one can hear a word or tell What the girl was singing See she must've been 16 or 18 I'm just past caring

She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses She was breaking my bones when I was bursting their noses She would tell me a secret I would lose it the next day Young love pleases you easy Makes you sick in a bad way

And all the while the girls sang La la la la and she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"

La la la la la la la............... La la la la la la la...............

Aw she said she said no no no no Then again yes why don't you kill me He asked him why you messed up right there Sweetheart you know that don't thrill me Said I would've been there for if you had been a little bit nicer I was dead by Sunday half dead scared just trying to please her

She getting the pills when I was into her best friend She was chasing the thrills And living down at the West End she was pretty in braces I lived under her window She said take me to London Tell me something I don't know

And all the while the girls sang La la la la she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"

La la la la la..... La la la la la..... La la la la la.....

She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses She was breaking my bones when I was bursting their noses She would tell me a secret I would lose it the next day Young love pleases you easy Makes you sick in a bad way And all the while the girls sang La la la la she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said I don't like you You can't stand me I can't love you anymore than this

Album: Costello Music Writers: I have no idea. Wouldn't say on the thing. Can't be bothered to do a lot of research for it. Probably John or something.
