Lyrics
She was a part-time waitress with a dream of greatness
That nobody knew of or even suspected
Though it was sometimes reflected in the slant of a mirror
It was buried so deep and so dear
She caught the eye of a guy passing by who said,
“My, if I prove to be faithless, you’ll surely know why
Oh, why?
You’ll probably know why”
Then again you may say
“Mister, you’ve got a nerve
Most of us never get just what we deserve”
I’ll smile sweetly,
“I’m here at your service”
And the camera walks us through into a sunlit room
Where a one-hit wonder lives
And he says, “Action” and “That’s a take”
You are my most beautiful mistake
“It’s not your reputation I’m trying to besmirch"
"I’m here undercover, I’m writing this screenplay”
“You might be my inspiration, it’s beyond my control”
“So it’s my soulful and wounded expression, that you’d like to console?”
There’s a hand that lingers a little too long
There are lies you will hear, that they’re singing right now, right here, right here in this song
And the lens pulls the focus on his magnum opus
He’s a one-hit wonder kid
And he says, “Action” and “That’s a take”
You are my most beautiful mistake
He made a portrait of her face out of burnt out matches
She said “The trouble is, Sunshine, I know what the catch is…
You’ll offer me nothing, you’ll offer me riches
I’ve seen your kind before in courtroom sketches”
From the booth in the corner
From a different perspective
Where a man plays the fool or a private detective
He wrote her name out in sugar on a Formica counter
“You could be the game that captures the hunter”
Then he went out for cigarettes
As the soundtrack played The Marvelettes
Let me check the script
Check the continuity
You’ll be up on that screen for eternity
The billboard will spit:
“That look!
That’s it!”
Take a little pill and you will get over it
The light will hit you
If you drop that hint
Now “Cut” and “Print”
And the camera walks us through into a low-lit room
Where a one-hit wonder lives
And he says, “Action” and “That’s a take”
You are my most beautiful mistake
She left a tip in the jar and a note at the door
It said, “I’m going away, I won’t be back anymore
If the call should come later to commute my sentence”
“Dance a little jig for my repentance”
“Dance a little jig for my repentance”
“Dance a little jig for my repentance”

Breathtaking. The melody, the lyrics, the vocal expression and arrangements … perfection.
This is new?! Fabulous and vocals as clear as ever
The greatest lyricist in the history of music. Nobody uses the English language like E.C.
Totally agree. Nobody writes like this
@@andrewpaterson5389 You're right...we get lines like: "I know what the catch is...I've seen your kind before...in courtroom sketches" carrying song-pictures that are interesting and intelligent and worth sussing out what is meant even if it is not always ultimately evident even upon consideration.
@@etamommy Best for me is All Grown Up
Wow. Not far off either. I can remember using tippex to to a cloze exercise when I taught English in Spain. Love number 6 from the same album. HB
Easily the greatest words man Ever
Elvis is still King~!
Nicole fuckin’ Atkins 👌
God... love the whole album... it's so great.
Great album Elvis, best one in years. Rosie loves it!
Love it
Great duet with the terrific Nicole Atkins!
Shoulder - Tounge - Mi ache

LOST ME AS SOON AS I SEEN THE ALL SEEING EYE ANOTHER SOUL SELLER !!!!!!! SICK SAD AND DISGUSTING!!!!! SOLD YOUR SOUL FOR A MEASLY BOWL OF SOUP!!!!!!! 🙏🙏
Up your meds Dude.
it could be the evil eye which is used as a protection medallion from evil and since it repels YOU... what is the truth?
@@lizi.2503 Yes, colours similar to the Evil Eye, believed to repel evil. Go to Greece and this is everywhere. Doesn't seem to be working too well for them, but evil takes a long time to repel😂
I have the same feeling about all uppercase.
