Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Mouth Almighty
This town belongs to you and your tricks of confidenceAll the pavements for miles around are littered with your footprintsNow every girl I get close to seems to be wearing your perfumeAnd the clock strikes the letters of your nameBoth midnight and noonBut I used to shoot my mouth offTil' you'd had enough of meOnce or twice nightlyI know I've got my faultsAnd among them I can't control my tongueBut if you didn't believe meWhy did you have to leave meWith my mouth almightyMouth almighty that's what I've gotMouth almighty telling you what's whatMouth almightyI wish I'd never opened my mouth almightySo I threw away the rose and held onto the thornCrawling round with my crooner cuff links and my calling card cologneBut the realization of being replaced starts to tell tales across my faceWithout a soul to talk to or a hair out of place
