I'll Wear It Proudly
Elvis Costello
Transcribed by phillip@phoenix.princeton.edu
 
 
  D
I hate these flaming curtains 
                A
They're not the color of your hair
  G
I hate these striplights 
                 D
They're not so undoing as your stare
   D
I hate the buttons on your shirt 
                         G
When all I want to do is tear
G
I hate this bloody big bed of mine 
                A
When you're not here
 
       D                 D/C#           Bm     G
Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
    D               F#m                  A
And nail my feet up where my head should be
        D             D/C#               Bm        G
If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown
    D
And you can all die laughing
    F#m          D
Cos I'll wear it proudly
 
Organ (2 times)

Well you semm to be shivering dear
And the room is awfully warm
In the white and scarlet billows
That subside beyond the storm
You have this expression dear
No words could take its place
And I wear it like a badge
That you put all over my face
 
Chorus
A
I'll wear it proudly
            G             D
Through the dives and the dancehalls
   A 
If you'll wear it proudly
            G             D
Through the snakepits and catcalls
       A            G
Like a fifteen year old kid
        D       Bm
Wears a vampire kiss
   G
If you don't know what is wrong with me
                                A
Then you don't know what you've missed
 
 
We are arms and legs
Wrapped round more than my memory tonight
When the bell rang out
And the air turned blue from fright
But in shameless moments
You made more of me than just a mess
And a handful of eagerness
Says "What do you suggest?"
 
Chorus

All we Know is falling chpt. 20
*Renee's POV* I was so angry with Joe right now. He thought he had the audacity to come up to me, and expect me to play his sick game of charades? Well he truly is a dumb ass if he thought that! I don't care if I spit in his face during my rant, that only added more to how angry and appalled I was with that man. I don't think I can even call him a man. That was the work of a true 4 year old. I walked away to my car with out saying another word. All I could think about was how sweet the revenge will be. I'll show that Rachael Just what his little 'boyfriend' is doing behind her back. "Where is it!?" I screamed to myself. I was searching in a box that had yet to be unpacked. Probably because nobody was daring enough to go through it. It was filled with electronics and what not. Wires scattered everywhere, chords entangled with one another. It really was stupid of me not to wind al the chords up, but I was already frustrated with the fact I was moving, I didn't need to be frustrated with some lousy chords. "Ah ha!" I yipped with excitement and held up the device proudly. I got up, patted myself on the back and headed over to my computer. "Now Joseph, you'll see how we REALLY do it Australia!" I scanned through the list of contacts on my e-mail and found Joe's. There it had his address. Exactly what I was looking for. It was a gloomy day, reminded me of Halloween almost. But that didn't stop me from being in a chipper mood. I had my 'revenge' in my bag, my car keys in my hand, and my eyes on Joe in his football uniform flirting with his next co-star. I quietly giggled to myself before turning toward my car. Off to Joe's we go! I felt like James bond. I parked my car down the street and headed toward his house. No car's. That's a good sign. I know I probably looked guilty, even though I tried to look absolutely normal, I couldn't help but think about the 90 year old neighbour hood spy that was in every neighbourhood watching my every move, ready with the 'Crime Stoppers' On Speed dial. But I had to do what I had to do. And Evonne's got me set with an alibi, so that old lady is going to look like a crazy creeper if she were to tell. I walked briskly to the back of the house and found a trellace at the back. One foot after another I was making my way up to the roof, and into the open window of a bedroom. But who's? As I got through the window I looked around. It was clearly a guys room. There were clothes on the floor, the bed was unmade, and posters of half naked girls pasted un-tidily on to the walls. I could probably infer that this was Joe's room, But why take my chances. Plus, it might be fun to snoop! I looked around in the drawers and saw lots of band-t's. From Kiss, and ACDC. I had never seen Joe wear them before. I loved Band-t's and wore them a lot, specifically those bands. I also saw the poster of Elvis Costello. One of my musical hero's. Maybe joe and I had more in conman then I thought. So I needed to find more evidence pointing towards Joe's room. When I turned around and saw that the door had said NICK in big blue letters. My favourite color. I headed out of the room and down the hallway, then I saw the door with JOE written in big letters, in red. I opened the door and was shocked at the sight. It was like Joe was Hannah Montana and was living a double life... *Comment please*
