Elvis Costello

She attracts dark rumours
Her travels in blue and other humours
Each time she walks in the room
Brings in much more than you’d assume

Oooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell
She’s My Lovely Jezebel
She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well

She suspects your sweet confection
When you talk in contradictions
Then she walks without detection
Overrules all of your objections
Oooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell
She’s My Lovely Jezebel

Man is a miserable ape and a sad pile of sticks
He comes out swinging, gets in a few licks
The longest of drumrolls for the shortest of tricks

So she attracts bad intentions
She distracts all of my attention
With her ways and her wild inventions
The facts of life they forgot to mention

Oooh, I looked in her eyes and down through that window I fell
She’s My Lovely Jezebel
She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well
