Elvis Costello - The World & His Wife Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (alternate slower version, submitted by craig ciccone)
  • The family circle gathers round from very far and near
  • To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year
  • The little girl you dangled on your knee without mishap
  • Stirs something in your memory and something in your lap
  • (chorus)
  • The juniper berry has a very deadly kiss
  • I would say that something here is very much amiss
  • But its a living and this is the life
  • For the world and his wife
  • The world and his wife
  • The kissing cousins step outside to cuddle and confess
  • She says sweet nothing at all, its much more of a mess
  • She says, our mother and someone elses father
  • Went for two weeks holiday in tarmasalata.
  • Daddy went out the rubbish and he kept on walking
  • Between mum and the walls, God only knows who does the talking
  • Chorus
  • The conversation melts like chocolate down our open jaws
  • Through the loud appeal of laughter and the counting of [? ]
  • And later on in the evening, through the tears and fol de rol
  • Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol
  • Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas
  • With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in different keys
  • Chorus

    • Report error in lyric
