Different Finger
Words & Music by: Elvis Costello
From the album: TRUST

A7              D                                  A7
Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger if you meet me tonight
'Cause I can't stand those suspicious glances
                                            D
'Cause I know the things they're saying are right

        D7     G
They're saying why don't you straighten up
And see what you've got to lose
C                                                            G
Put it all down to fate but you still got the chance to choose

G                         F          C
I don't want to hear your whole life story
    A                                       D       D7
Or about my strange resemblance to some old flame
G                 F        C
All I want is one night of glory
D                                  G 
I don't even know your second name

INSTRUMENTAL:

A7   D   A     D D7 G  D   A7    D

B7              E
Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger 
             B7
'cause we've got so much at stake
I can't stand those suspicious glances
                                       E
'Cause they seem to cover ev'ry move I make

E7       A                        E
But if I can be alone with you completely tonight
               B    
Put your rings on a diff'rent finger
                      A  E  F#m7 (XX2222) E
Before I turn out the light

Elvis Costello Inspired Music
Official Website: http://myspace.com/quotingnapoleon Plastic America by Quoting Napoleon John Salazar - Vocals Sam Kovic - Guitar Guy Wettstein - Bass Steve Turmell - Drums Elvis Costello Inspired Music Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus 25 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter, with Irish ancestry. Costello came to prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s, and later became associated with the punk rock and New Wave musical genres, before establishing his own unique voice in the 1980s. Steeped in wordplay, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs, and his music has drawn on dozens of genres. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "Costello, the pop encyclopedia, can reinvent the past in his own image". http://www.elviscostello.com See Also: Mystery Dance, Pay It Back, I'm Not Angry, Waiting For The End Of The World, Watching The Detectives, No Action, Living In Paradise, Radio Sweetheart, Stranger In The House, Welcome To The Working Week, Blue Minute, Miracle Man, Call On Me, The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes,I Don't Want To Go Home, I Hear A Melody, Blame It On Cain, No Dancing, Night Rally, Hoover Factory,.

Elvis Costello - From a Whisper to a Scream
With The Attractions and Glenn Tilbrook Oh it's not easy to resist temptation Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination Taking every word she says just like an open invitation But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream So I whisper and I scream But don't get me wrong Please don't leave me waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Hey Oh oh oh oh oh Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying I heard someone say where have we met before But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four

Elvis Costello - Still
Live, with Steve Nieve on piano. From the North album. ---- These few lines I'll devote To a marvelous girl covered up in my coat Pull it up to your chin I'll hold you until the day will begin Still Lying in the shadows this new flame will cast Upon everything we carry from the past You were made of every love and each regret Up until the day we met There are no words that I'm afraid to hear Unless they are "Goodbye, my dear" Still I was moving very fast But in one place Now you speak my name and set my pulse to race Sometimes words may tumble out but can't eclipse The feeling when you press your fingers to my lips I want to kiss you in a rush And whisper things to make you blush And you say, "Darling, hush Hush Still, still"

Elvis Costello - Indoor Fireworks
We play these parlor games We play at make believe When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try We go straight past pretending To the part where everybody loves to cry Indoor fireworks Can still burn your fingers Indoor fireworks We swore we were safe as houses They're not so spectacular They don't burn up in the sky But they can dazzle or delight Or bring a tear When the smoke gets in your eyes You were the spice of life The gin in my vermouth And though the sparks would fly I thought our love was fireproof Sometimes we'd fight in public darling With very little cause But different kinds of sparks would fly When we got on our own behind closed doors It's time to tell the truth These things have to be faced My fuse is burning out And all that powder's gone to waste Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through I'll build a bonfire of my dreams And burn a broken effigy of me and you

Elvis Costello - This Town...
Elvis Costello - This Town... That charlie sedarka was a-playing the piano Like he was pawing a dirty book He bit a hole in his big bottom lip and gave his Very best little boy look It was a song with a topical verse which iÂ'm Afraid he then proceeded to sing Something about the moody doomed love of The fish-finger king Chorus: YouÂ're nobody in this town YouÂ're nobody in this crowd YouÂ're nobody Â'til everybody in this town Thinks youÂ're poison, Got your number knows it must be avoided YouÂ're nobody Â'til everybody in this town Thinks youÂ're a bastard Mr. getgood moved up to self-made man row Although he swears that heÂ's the salt of the earth HeÂ's so proud of the Â"kick-me-hardÂ" sign that They hung on his back at birth He said Â"i appreciate beauty, if i have one, then ItÂ's my faultÂ" Â"beauty is on my pillow, beauty is there in My vaultÂ" Chorus The girl with the eternity rock went down on Her bookie to buy some stock Now all her signs in the shopping arcades say Â"the corporation thief is the new jesse jamesÂ" Her clothes and her attention were scant, her Eyes were everywhere, Her eyes were like abstinthe The little green figures that dance on his screen Say everything you want to hear and nothing They mean They made love while she was changing her dress She wiped him off she wiped him out and then She made him confess A little amused by the belief in her power You must remember this it was the fetish of The hour Chorus
