Sweetest Punch (songs Of Costello) Lyrics - 1999
(words sung by the character in the movie given in brackets)
Now i have nothing, so god give me strength
'cause i'm weak in her [his] wake
And if i'm strong i might still break
And i don't have anything to share
That i won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out [this belle is wrung out]
[he] she was the light that i'd bless
[he] she took my last chance at happiness
So god give me strength, god give me strength
I can't hold onto [him] her, god give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And i'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As i tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
[he] she was the light that i'd bless
[he] she took my last chance at happiness
So god give me strength,
God if [he'd] she'd grant me [his] her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe [him] her from my memory
Fracture the spell as [he] she becomes my enemy
Maybe i was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, i'm only human, i want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt
[instrumental]
Since i lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
[he] she was the light that i'd bless
[he] she took my last chance at happiness
So god give me strength, god give me strength
