This is a calling card
Maybe it will be a farewell note
The poison fountain pen now requires the antidote
But if I avert your gaze
And I should become a shrinking flower
Just punch me on the arm
This could be our finest hour
'Til now this was my view
But I'm counting on you
How am I ever going to make you see?
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily
I want you to be...
My lovely hooligan
Come by and smash my pane
'Til I can see right through
My little blue window
This is a fingerprint
Maybe you will feel a fond caress
But when you start to speak
Are you tempted to confess?
Well, I was a gloomy soul
Never thought I see a brighter day
The dark interior
Blows those silver clouds away
'Til now this was my view
But I'm counting on you
How am I ever going to make you see?
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily
I want you to be...
My lovely hooligan
Come by and smash my pane
'Til I can see right through
My little blue window
Chrissie Hynde & Elvis Costello - Windows of the World HQ (live 1988) (04:15)
A new upload for a change.. :) Chrissie Hynde to The Independent London 1995: He bailed me out big
time once. I'd agreed to do this charity thing that Bill Wyman had organised in 1988 for the Great
Ormond Street Children's Hospital. I'd never been in front of an audience with just myself and an
acoustic guitar before, and I was dead nervous about it. So I asked Elvis to duet with me. He had
great ideas. He knows everything about music he's like a professor of musicology. Anyway, he helped
me ...
