My Little Blue Window - Elvis Costello

This is a calling card

Maybe it will be a farewell note

The poison fountain pen now requires the antidote

But if I avert your gaze

And I should become a shrinking flower

Just punch me on the arm

This could be our finest hour

'Til now this was my view

But I’m counting on you

How am I ever going to make you see?

Nothing in this ugly world comes easily

I want you to be…

My lovely hooligan

Come by and smash my pane

'Til I can see right through

My little blue window

This is a fingerprint

Maybe you will feel a fond caress

But when you start to speak

Are you tempted to confess?

Well, I was a gloomy soul

Never thought I’d see a brighter day

The dark interior

Blows those silver clouds away

'Til now this was my view

But I’m counting on you

How am I ever going to make you see?

Nothing in this ugly world comes easily

I want you to be…

My lovely hooligan

Come by and smash my pane

'Til I can see right through

My little blue window
