[00:00.00]Elvis Costello - When It Sings
[00:30.26]
[00:32.26]All the words you say to me
[00:36.14]Have music in them
[00:40.17]All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism
[00:48.00]And a selfish boy looks through a prism
[00:56.08]And says what is
[01:00.33]But never asks what isn’t
[01:06.48]
[01:11.07]But a voice contains many precious things
[01:20.05]It laughs
[01:23.44]And then it sings
[01:26.95]And all the lies that we can tell
[01:34.72]To our foolish selves
[01:45.44]
[01:47.90]Maybe this is the love song that I refused to
[01:56.53]Write her when I loved her like I used to
[02:03.93]And I fear my heart may spin and fracture
[02:11.95]Like tears of stone falling from a statue
[02:22.61]
[02:26.85]But a voice contains all that’s true and false
[02:35.66]Then cries for someone else
[02:42.39]And for some honest tenderness
[02:49.79]So I must confess
[03:00.16]
[03:01.53]All the words you say to me
[03:05.40]Have music in them
[03:09.43]All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism
[03:17.38]And a selfish boy looks through a prism
[03:25.35]And says what is
[03:29.73]But never asks what isn’t
[03:38.45]
[03:45.51]
