lirik lagu the sharpest thorn – elvis costello & allen toussaint
[verse 1]
i wore my finest suit of clothes
the sharpest th-rn defending the rose
hot as a pistol
keen as a blade
the sharpest th-rn upon parade
and it’s the same most every year
ghosts of the dear departed are near
we raise our gl-sses and we cheer
should old acquaintance disappear
just as we wipe away a tear
[chorus]
archangel michael will lead the way
archangel gabriel is ready to play
although we know we must repent
we hit the scene and look for sins
that haven’t even been invented
[verse 2]
the strongest cage that guards the prize
the longest lash that covers your eyes
a sight no eyes are meant to know
then on the third day he arose
[chorus]
[verse 3]
so good and evil were having a fight
it lasts much longer than any one night
it may last longer than a life
and turn a mistress into a wife
and so confetti fills the air
my heart is aching
my pockets are bare
i didn’t recognise their warning
then i wasn’t born the sharpest th-rn
[outro]
i wasn’t born the sharpest th-rn[x4]
