Elvis Costello & The Imposters - Magnificent Hurt lyrics

After talking in tongues I began to preach “What falls from the branch is an apple or peach” Hold on to me There’s a Red Alert It’s the way you make me feel Magnificent Hurt I took a little walk I took another stimulant I shed a single tear For my predicament Don’t act surprised or insolent It’s the way you make me feel Magnificent Hurt When we first me I knew you were beautiful You fit like the seat of a blue mohair suit But the pain that I felt Lеt me know I’m alive And I openеd my heart To the way you make me feel Magnificent Hurt I speak low and intimate Like a cardboard sophisticate What if this is true love Not some town-hall certificate It’s the way you make me feel Magnificent Hurt I stood at the door and I almost went through with it Tight as the angle of my "Amen" And I swore there and then As I feign and I flirt I unbu*toned my shirt To the way you make me feel Magnificent Hurt To the way you make me feel Magnificent Hurt [Guitar solo] It’s the way you make me feel It’s the way you make me feel Magnificent
