Songtexte Magnificent Hurt - Memphis Magnetic Version - Elvis Costello , The Imposters

After talking in tongues, I began to preach
"What falls from the branch is an apple or peach"
Hold on to me, there's a red alert
It's the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt

I took a little walk, I took another stimulant
I shed a single tear for my predicament
Don't act surprised or insolent
It's the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt

We first met, I knew you were beautiful
We fit like the seat of a blue mohair suit
And the pain that I felt let me know I'm alive
And I opened my heart
To the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt

I speak low and intimate, like a cardboard sophisticate
What if this is true love, not a town-hall certificate?
And it's the way you make me feel
Magnificent hurt

We stood at the door and we almost went through with it
Tight as the angle of my "Amen"
And I swore there and then, as I feign and I flirt
I unbuttoned my shirt
To the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt

To the way you make me feel
Magnificent

It's the way you make me feel
Do the way you make me feel
Do the way you make me feel
Magnificent
