Costello, Elvis - I Hope You're Happy Now Lyrics






He's a fine figure of a man and handsome too
With his eyes upon the secret places he'd like to undo
Still he knows who knows who and where and how
And I hope you're happy now
He's got all the things you need and some that you will never
But you make him sound like frozen food, his love will last forever
Still he know what you want and what you don't allow
And I hope you're happy now

I hope that you're happy now like you're supposed to be
And I know that this will hurt you more than it hurts me

He's acting innocent and proud still you know what he's after
Like a matador with his pork sword, while we all die of laughter
In his turquoise pajamas and motorcycle hat
I hope you're happy now because you'll soon put pay to that
I knew then what I know now I never loved you anyhow
And I hope you're happy now

    +Joel Lafreniere What's your point? In the time it's taken you to reply, you could've fixed it. Leaving it spelled wrong makes YOU the clueless one.

    I wondered if Blood & Chocolate would ever top, 'Punch the Clock' in my order of favorites. It has. The version of, 'Poor Napoleon' on this album is my favorite as it seems a bit slower in tempo with a deeper, throatier voice.

    there was a version EVEN more "verocious" performed on the Old Grey Whistle Test that nearly blew away Costellophile Andy Kershaw

  32. c.... ....

    There's a version of this that appeared on the bonus side of a cassette(!) I had of the reissue Goodbye Cruel World back in the 90's. It rocks just as hard but a lot more atmospheric AND a live solo guitar slower version too. If anyone can find them please post.

  33. B.... ....

    What a great fucking song.
