Elvis Costello - The Greatest Thing слова песни
Everyone stopped when she walked into the roomIsnt this the greatest thingEveryone own up but nobody could touch herIsnt this the greatest thingPunch the clock keep boxing cleverYoull be young enough for everIsnt this the greatest thingIsnt this the greatest thingI heard some new confectionSaid we cant afford to feel affectionAnd its the lastest thingIn and out of matrimonyNever once removed the sonycos its a status thingSo girls like that above describedAre not to be so easily bribedWith a white frock and a ringPunch the clock and in time youll get pulled apartIf youre married on paper and not in your heartBut I wont be told that life with the one you love is sordidJust because some authority says you cant afford itSince nights were long and days were oldenWoman to man has been beholdenBut since then times have been changingShe sends back his tribute of a roseAnd says this ring is better suited for the noseHes always fingeringI punch the clock and its okI know a girl who takes my breath awayAnd its the greatestAnd its the greatest thing
