My Lovely Jezebel - Elvis Costello

She attracts dark rumours

Travels in blue and other humours

Each time she walks in the room

Brings in much more than you’d assume

Ooo, I looked in her eyes

And out through that window I fell

She’s My Lovely Jezebel

She neglects you and then ransacks you so very well

She suspects your sweet confection

When you talk in contradictions

Then she walks without detection

Overrules all your objections

Ooo, I looked in her eyes

And through that window I fell

She’s My Lovely Jezebel

Man is miserable ape and sad pile of sticks

He comes out swinging, gets in a few licks

The longest of drumrolls for the shortest of tricks

So she attracts bad intentions

She distracts all my attention

With her ways and her wild inventions

The facts of life they forgot to mention

Ooo, I looked in her eyes

And down through that window I fell

She’s My Lovely Jezebel

She neglects you and then ransacks you so very well
