elvis costello - my little blue window lyrics

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 got 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 though
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 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 got 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 though
my little blue window
