elvis costello - this is hell lyrics

Loading...

this is h-ll, this is h-ll
i am sorry to tell you
it never gets better or worse
but you get used to it after a spell
for heaven is h-ll in reverse

the bruiser spun a hula hoop
as all the barmen preen and pout
the neon “i” of nightclub flickers on and off
and finally blew out

the irritating jingle
of the belly-dancing phony turkish girls
the eerie glare of ultra violet
perfect dental work

this is h-ll, i am sorry to tell you
it never gets better or worse
but you get used to it after a spell
for heaven is h-ll in reverse

the failed don juan in the big bow-tie
is very sorry that he spoke
for he’s mislaid his punchline
more than halfway through a very tasteless joke

the fräulein caught him peeking down her gown
he’s yelling in her ear
and all at once the music stopped
as he was intimately bellowing “my dear . . .”

this is h-ll, this is h-ll, i am sorry to tell you
it never gets better or worse
but you get used to it after a spell
for heaven is h-ll in reverse

the shirt you wore with courage
and the violent nylon suit
reappear upon your back
and undermine the polished line you try to shoot
it’s not the torment of the flames
that finally see your flesh corrupted
it’s the small humiliations that your memory piles up

this is h-ll, this is h-ll, this is h-ll

“my favourite things” are playing sgain and again
but it’s by julie andrews and not by john coltrane
endless balmy breezes in perfect sunsets framed
vintage wine for breakfast and naked starlets floating in champagne

all the p-ssions of your youth
are tranquillised and tamed
you may think it looks familiar
though you may know it by another name

this is h-ll, this is h-ll
i am sorry to tell you
it never gets better or worse
but you get used to it after a spell
for heaven is h-ll in reverse

this is h-ll, this is h-ll
