Elvis Costello - Mouth Almighty Lyrics & Traduction


This town belongs to you and your tricks of confidence
All the pavements for miles around are littered with your footprints
Now every girl I get close to seems to be wearing your perfume
And the clock strikes the letters of your name
Both midnight and noon


But I used to shoot my mouth off till you'd had enough of me
Once or twice nightly
I know I've got my faults and among them I can't control my tongue
But if you didn't believe me why did you have to leave me
With my mouth almighty

Mouth almighty that's what I've got
Mouth almighty telling you what's what
Mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty


So I threw away the rose and held onto the thorn
Crawling round with my crooner cufflinks
And my calling card cologne
But the realization of being replaced
Starts to tell tales across my face
Without a soul to talk to or a hair out of place


But I used to shoot my mouth off till you'd had enough of me
Once or twice nightly
I know I've got my faults and among them I can't control my tongue
But if you didn't believe me why did you have to leave me
With my mouth almighty


Mouth almighty that's what I've got
Mouth almighty telling you what's what
Mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
