Interpret:

Elvis Costello

Album:

Painted from Memory

You only saw red
After I said, "How can we continue?"
Hidden from your view
In the blue corner that I painted myself into
Then we started to fight
And it changed everything
Here's the ring


You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Not after all we've been through
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
Will find one to walk right into


You knocked me out
It was the sweetest punch
The bell goes...


I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
We all say things we don't mean
You can't take it back


Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?
I can see I'll never win
So if you're going
Then you better go to him
Then you better go to him


I only saw stars
I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended
What was I to do
In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended?


Then with seconds to go
You delivered the blow
Here I go


You dropped the band, I can't understand it
Not after all we've been through
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
Will find one to walk right into


You knocked me out
It was the sweetest punch
The bell goes...


I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
We all say things we don't mean
You can't take it back


Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?
I can see I'll never win
So if you're going
Then you better go to him
Then you better go to him
