Elvis Costello - Who Do You Think You Are

Elvis Costello

Who Do You Think You Are

The hunted look, the haunted grace
The empty laugh that you cultivate
You fall into that false embrace
And kiss the air about her face
Who do you think you are?
The tres bon mots you almost quote from your
QUIVER of literary darts
A thousand or so tuneless violins thrilling your cheap
little heart
Who do you think you are?

My cigarette burns right down to the ash, my coffee
cup is unstained
The waiter hovers close at hand
His courtesy strained

Who do you think you are?
I close with my regards
Well I'm the red-face gentleman
Caught in this picture postcard
Who do you think you are?

Trying my best to make the best of your absence
Though the joke gets tired and sordid
Sea-shell hearts get trampled under foot
Punchlines unrewarded

But even at this distance it's not easy to accept
The vision that I chase returns when I least expect it
I've fallen from your tired embrace
I kiss the air around the place that should be your face.

Mirror lyrics:

I kiss the air around the place that should be your face.
I've fallen from your tired embrace
The vision that I chase returns when I least expect it
But even at this distance it's not easy to accept

Punchlines unrewarded
Sea-shell hearts get trampled under foot
Though the joke gets tired and sordid
Trying my best to make the best of your absence

Who do you think you are?
Caught in this picture postcard
Well I'm the red-face gentleman
I close with my regards
Who do you think you are?

His courtesy strained
The waiter hovers close at hand
cup is unstained
My cigarette burns right down to the ash, my coffee

Who do you think you are?
little heart
A thousand or so tuneless violins thrilling your cheap
QUIVER of literary darts
The tres bon mots you almost quote from your
Who do you think you are?
And kiss the air about her face
You fall into that false embrace
The empty laugh that you cultivate
The hunted look, the haunted grace
