After The Fall - Elvis Costello
AmIn an anonymous Erendez-vous where the forbidden lovers reAmpair
They're Cburning down another damn Gcandle
they're Emelting the tables and Fmaj7chairs
BeAmneath them applause from the Ebalcony
whenever they accomplished making Amlove
COther times they thought they heard Glaughter
E Fmaj7 (here there obviously is more....)
coming from the balcony above
She Glies to his right and she Dcarelessly resites
EmAll of her brand new appeDtites
She seems Gbrittle and small it don't Dsound like her at all
EmSince she came back to him EAfter the fall
She said You never visited the countryside
So I've made you a country to order
She put up a little tent in the bedroom
Crickets played on a tape recorder
The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous stars
She noticed his skin turning cold
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold
She lies to his right.....
You've changed but not for the better, babe
I'd tell you why but what's the use
'Cause it's the same kind of pity
a drunkard gives as his excuse
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
Thrown through the window in the riot
She lies in his arms and without any qualms
Revels in shallow delights
She seems brittle and small it don't look like her at all
Since she came back to him After the fall
