Costello, Elvis - Don't Be Careless Love Lyrics
Burn the midnight lamp
Down until the dawn
I'll keep watch
Until I'm sure you're coming home
Shadows play
They turn into a bad dream overnight
Something could be terribly wrong
Don't be careless love
Don't be careless love
Don't be, don't be careless
In my dream you're running nowhere
Every step you've taken turns to glue
Walking down a spiral staircase
Don't be careless love
Be careless love
The lamp burns down and out
I'm getting pretty tired of this
I feel so bad
Something might be going amiss
I won't be there
So look out for yourself
You're getting in deep whatever you do
Don't let me go back to sleep
Don't be careless love
Don't be careless love
Don't be, don't be careless
Saw your face in the morning paper
Saw your body rolled up in a rug
Chopped up into two little pieces
By some thug
Don't be careless love
Be careless love
But in the morning light
When I wake up again
You're by my side
And that's the way it's always been
But in the dark
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Don't be careless love

Co-writer Elvis Costello sings in background!
Thank you for this Lalo.
great version!1Should release it!!.....I know,I know,they have!!
just heard their demo of 'lovers that never were', amazing, electric, superb ... and baffling they didn't record these songs together.
"Saw your body rolled up in a rug. Chopped up into two little pieces" *shocked*
I. LOVE. THIS!!!!!!
This is so much darker than the album version...and so much better in my opinion.
OK, I won't be careless.
They sound so amazing together!
@laloisaac
Ah ha, thanks for the tip! Great video too, thank you. :)
So, where is this version from? Is there a Flowers studio bootleg floating around? I'd kill for something like that!
It's on an official release of FITD
Soo many folks think this collaboration has been the best for Macca since Lennon, and i agree.I wish they had at least done a small club concert DVD of these co written tunes.hey Lads, it's never too late!
Oh My Lord.
