Songtexte Motel Matches - Elvis Costello
Somewhere
in
the
distance
I
can
hear
who
shot
Sam
This
is
my
conviction
that
I
am
an
innocent
man
Oh,
you
say,
I′m
unkind,
I'm
being
as
nice
as
I
can
Boys
everywhere
fumbling
with
the
catches
I
struck
lucky
with
motel
matches
Falling
for
you
without
a
second
look
Falling
out
of
your
open
pocket
book
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
do
When
the
light
outside
changes
from
red
to
blue
Boys
everywhere
fumbling
with
the
catches
I
struck
lucky
with
motel
matches
Falling
for
you
without
a
second
look
Falling
out
of
your
open
pocket
book
Giving
you
away
like
motel
matches
1 It's more of the idea that we are in a flow towards a way of living
2 It's Kind of a Gospel Song
3 I'm glad to get the opportunity to put the word to the fore
4 The main body of the song is very repetitive, it's supposed to be like that
5 An example of one of those songs that nearly got away
6 I told a tale, which you have to listen to the lyrics
7 It was more the expression came to mind
8 It's a more regretful song
9 It was about people meeting in the night at a hotel, not a complicated story
10 It has Mick Jones of The Clash playing guitar
11 It was the ballad of This Year's Model
12 It Was Recorded Almost By Accident
13 Motel Matches
14 Kid About It
15 Love Field
16 Bedlam
