My Brave Face — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

(mccartney/macmanus)

My brave, my brave, my brave face



Ive been living in style

Unaccustomed as I am

To the luxury life

Ive been hitting the town

And it didnt hit back

Ive been doing the rounds

Unaccustomed as I am

To the time on my hands

Now I dont have to tell anybody

When Im gonna get back

Ever since you went away Ive had the sentimental inclination not to change a single thing

As I pull the sheet back on the bed I want to go bury my head in your pillow



Now that Im alone again

I cant stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

Take me to that place

Where I can find my brave face

Where I can find my brave face

My brave, my brave, my brave face



Ive been living a lie

Unaccustomed as I am

To the work of a housewife

I been breaking up dirty dishes

And been throwing them away

Ever since you left I have been trying to compose a "baby, would you please come home" note meant for you

As I clear away another untouched tv dinner from the table I made for two



Now that Im alone again

I cant stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

Take me to that place

Where I can find my brave face

Where I can find my brave face

My brave, my brave, my brave face
