Elvis Costello Lyrics for Song: One Bell Ringing
 Lyrics for Album: National Ransom [2010]
 
 
 
 11239>Raining slapping on the window pane
 
 An hour or more of teeming
 
 Storm punching like a hurricane
 
 That tore him out of dreaming
 
 
 
 Air screaming through the slightest gap
 
 Rattling between the frame and the sill
 
 Drapes hanging from the final act
 
 When I had you still
 
 
 
 One lonely bird is singing
 
 Lower the hood hung of his lament
 
 Dash him down on cold cement
 
 One Bell Ringing
 
 
 
 Flies buzzing round strip search light
 
 They've got him down on his knees
 
 He thinks of honey dripping from a spoon
 
 Girls whispering in Portuguese
 
 
 
 Between muzzle and the black site
 
 Electrical contact
 
 Deny your name and then carry the blame
 
 Somewhat after the fact
 
 
 
 One lonely bird is singing
 
 Lower the hood hung on that last lament
 
 Dash him down on cold cement
 
 One Bell Ringing
