Hora Decubitus - Elvis Costello

Siren is bending, the radio humming

Sun is breaking through and the storm is coming

The score is obscure, the melody fractured

It went by my window

Refused to be captured

I hope that i wake up in time

Good king neptune came flipping up my street

He was a sad case tripping up the staircase

Friends and relations are laughing at my head

Gathered like crows at the end of my bed

I hope that i wake up in time

If you can’t or can’t quite

Think again

You can’t fight

That you might

Not be smite

If it’s wrong, it’s not right

I say it once and i’ll say it again

Now and forever and ever, amen

Siren is bending, the radio is humming

Who do you love now and who are you damning?

The score is obscure and the melody fractured

The bird by my window refused to be captured

I hope i wake up in time

If you can or can’t quite

Think again

You can’t fight

That you might

Not be smite

If it’s wrong, it’s not right

I’ll say it once and i’ll say it again

Life is a beautiful thing

I’ve said it before

I can’t say it much more

Life is a beautiful thing
