Costello, Elvis - Photographs Can Lie Lyrics






He was wired, dynamite
And she was rare as treasure
That's not the kind of story
You deny
In a frame, under glass
They'll always be together
And so in love, but photographs
Can lie

Now they say I have the gaze
That must recall my father
Saying, "He's my knight,
My bright morning sun"
Now I am mourning everyone

See him now, know he cheats
Why can't she see through him?
He used to be more valiant
Than vain
Put him on a pedestal
And it's a long way down there
I'll never be his little girl
Again

Now they say I have the gaze
That must recall my father
Saying, "He's my knight,
My bright morning sun"
Now I am mourning everyone

Someone else will look at me
And think he is my lover
Developing the image
In his eye
In a frame, under glass
We'll always be together
And so in love, but photographs
Can lie

    He was wired, dynamite
    And she was rare as treasure
    That's not the kind of story you deny
    In a frame under glass
    They'll always be together and so in love
    But photographs can lie

    Now they say
    That I have the gaze
    That must recall my father
    Sayin' he's my knight
    My bright morning sun
    Now I am (?) everyone

    See him now, know he cheats
    Why can't she see through him?
    He used to be more valiant than vain
    Put him on a pedestal
    And it's a long way down there
    I'll never be his little girl again

    Now they say
    That I have the gaze
    That must recall my father
    Sayin' "He's my knight
    "My bright morning sun"
    Now I am mourning everyone

    Someone else will look at me
    And think he is my lover
    Developing the image in his eye
    In a frame under glass
    We'll always be together and so in love
    But photographs can lie
