The Sweetest Punch — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

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

Heres the ring



You dropped the band, I cant understand it

Not after all weve 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 didnt see it coming

We all say things we dont mean

You cant take it back



Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?

I can see Ill never win

So if youre going

Then you better go to him

Then you better go to him



I only saw stars

I dropped my guard, and thats 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 cant understand it

Not after all weve 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 didnt see it coming

We all say things we dont mean

You cant take it back



Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?

I can see Ill never win

So if youre going

Then you better go to him

Then you better go to him
