paroles de chanson I'll Wear It Proudly (Solo Demo) - Elvis Costello

I hate these flaming curtains, they're not the colour of your hair
I hate these strip lights, they're not so undoing as your stare
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I want to do is tear
I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here

Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
And nail my feet up where my head should be
If they had a king of fools then I could wear that crown
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly

You seem to be shivering dear, and the room is awfully warm
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm
You have this expression dear, no words can take its place
I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face

Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
And nail my feet up where my head should be
If they had a king of fools then I could wear that crown
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly

I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls
You wear it proudly through the snake pits and cat calls
Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss
If you don't know what is wrong with me
Then you don't know what you've missed

Well your arms and legs wrapped 'round more than my memory tonight
When the bell rang out and the air around turned blue from fright
But in shameless moments you made more of me than just a mess
And a handful of eagerness is what do you suggest

Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
And nail my feet up where my head should be
If they had a king of fools then I could wear that crown
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly

I'll wear it proudly
I'll wear it proudly
