Elvis Costello - My Thief (Sweetest Punch (Songs Of Costello))

When I go to sleep, you become my thief
Why don't you steal what you can keep?
But you won't let me be
You break into my dreams
And every day seems different
Sometimes I pretend you'll come back again
And you'll console the heart you stole
Have pity on the man
Who knows that you have gone
And has begun to break down

I feel almost possessed
So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then
You can take all I have left
I know it's over
If you can't be my lover
Be my thief

I'm so drowsy now, I'll unlock the door
What fades in time will hurt much more
So here's that happy scene
Where you come back to me
It's only found in fiction

I feel almost possessed
So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then
You can take all I have left
I know it's over
If you can't be my lover
Be my thief

"I didn't lead you on,
But there will always be
A little larceny in everyone

So hush and don't you cry
I'm trying to be kind
Because I have a perfect alibi"

"Elvis is the greatist entertainer,dancer,and singer" .. He was, until MJ came along, MJ was the greatest entertainer, dancer and singer.. I doubt any these days could get near those two though.

Pure talent. Great voice and looks. Certainly a superb entertainer. I only feel sorry for him because he looks so exhausted on stage. You can especially see it in his eyes. This is a great song too, a true classic. Good luck on your journey Elvis, whever you are now.

When I was getting into music in a big way I listened to just about everything that was deemed influential. The Beatles, amazing. Led Zep, amazing. Joy Division, amazing. The Smiths, amazing. The Stone Roses, amazing. The Clash, amazing. Jimi, amazing but when I listened to Elvis I found that it wasn't amazing or anywhere near it. Never really seen the attraction & it's all a bit cheesy & overated.
