"Alison (Demo)" lyrics
(originally by Elvis Costello)
Oh, it's so funny now be seeing you after so long
But the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed
I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other fickle valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
Well, I see you've got a husband now
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
Bet it took all he could take
Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
But the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed
I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other fickle valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
Well, I see you've got a husband now
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
Bet it took all he could take
Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
