Motel Matches Lyrics

Somewhere in the distance I can hear "Who Shot Sam?"
This is my conviction, that I am an innocent man
Though you say I`m unkind
I`m being as nice as I can
[Chorus]
Boys everywhere, fumbling with the catches
I struck lucky with motel matches
Falling for you without a second look
Falling out of your open pocketbook
Giving you away like motel matches

I wake with the siren in an emergency
Though your mind is full of love
In your eyes there is a vacancy
And you know what I`ll do
When the light outside changes from red to blue

[Chorus]

Elvis Costello Lyrics

iTunes Originals (2007)

It Was Recorded Almost by Accident Watching the Detectives It Was the Ballad of This Year's Model Little Triggers It Has Mick Jones of the Clash Playing Guitar Big Tears It Was About People Meeting in the Night at a Hotel, Not a Complicated Story Motel Matches It's a More Regretful Song Riot Act It Was More the Expression Came to Mind Kid About It I Told a Tale, Which You Have to Listen to the Lyrics Man Out of Time An Example of One of Those Songs That Nearly Got Away Love Field The Main Body of the Song Is Very Repetitive, It's Supposed to Be Like That I Want You I'm Glad to Get the Opportunity to Put the Word to the Fore Invasion Hit Parade It's Kind of a Gospel Song Bedlam It's More of the Idea That We Are in a Flow Towards a Way of Living The River in Reverse
