I Almost Had A Weakness Lyrics by Elvis Costello

I Almost Had A Weakness Lyrics

    Thank you for the flowers
    I threw them on the fire
    And i burned the photographs that you had enclosed
    God they were ugly children
    So you're the little bastard of that brother of mine
    Trying to trick a poor old woman
    'til i almost had a weakness

    Last week cousin florence
    Bit your uncle joe
    Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork
    (she) said that he looked like the devil
    Then she said... "pass the vinegar," i'm beginning to think
    (that) i'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking of it
    Though i almost had a weakness

    It pains me to mention
    These delicate concerns
    While i have to tolerate you family jewels
    I really mustn't grumble
    ('cause) when i die the cats and dogs will jump up and down
    And you little swines will get nothing
    Though i almost had a weakness
