This Town Lyrics by Elvis Costello

This Town Lyrics

    That charlie sedarka was a-playing the piano
    Like he was pawing a dirty book
    He bit a hole in his big bottom lip and gave his
    Very best little boy look
    It was a song with a topical verse which i'm
    Afraid he then proceeded to sing
    Something about the moody doomed love of
    The fish-finger king

    Chorus:

    You're nobody in this town
    You're nobody in this crowd
    You're nobody 'til everybody in this town
    Thinks you're poison,
    Got your number knows it must be avoided
    You're nobody 'til everybody in this town
    Thinks you're a bastard

    Mr. getgood moved up to self-made man row
    Although he swears that he's the salt of the earth
    He's so proud of the "kick-me-hard" sign that
    They hung on his back at birth
    He said "i appreciate beauty, if i have one, then
    It's my fault"
    "beauty is on my pillow, beauty is there in
    My vault"

    Chorus

    The girl with the eternity rock went down on
    Her bookie to buy some stock
    Now all her signs in the shopping arcades say
    "the corporation thief is the new jesse james"
    Her clothes and her attention were scant, her
    Eyes were everywhere,
    Her eyes were like abstinthe
    The little green figures that dance on his screen
    Say everything you want to hear and nothing
    They mean
    They made love while she was changing her dress
    She wiped him off she wiped him out and then
    She made him confess
    A little amused by the belief in her power
    You must remember this it was the fetish of
    The hour

    Chorus
