Mouth Almighty Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Mouth Almighty Lyrics

    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

    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
