The Only Flame In Town — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

I know a girl got my mind in a mess

I never heard her say goodnight and God bless

She`s not the only flame in town



And when we`re alone we never quarrel

I`m miles away now here`s the moral

She`s not the only flame in town



She`s not the only flame in town

She`s got to stop thinking that I`m

carrying this torch around



He struck a match and it lit up her face

We should have struck a match girl

To burn down the whole place

Now you`re not the only flame in town



But you blew hot and cold

Turned my heart to a cinder

And with each passing day

You`re less tender and more tinder

Now you`re not the only flame in town



She`s not the only flame in town

She`s got to stop thinking that I`m

carrying this torch around



Thought I saw your face in the fire

But it`s so hard to remember

Even an inferno can cool down to an ember

Now you`re not the only flame

You`re not the only flame

You`re not the only flame in town
