Elvis Costello - Mr. Feathers lyrics

They looked at her this way ever since she was a girl Mr. Feathers, Mr. Feathers The echo in every smile that would curl into a leer Oh my dear, Mr. Feathers is near The counter is falling Something is spoiling It's really appalling You pleased and you promised You never saw it through Nobody knows the damage that we do Do you carry it with you? She pa**ed him out in the street He suddenly seemed so frail As her fast heart beat She should kick him anyway Sharpen her nails... For eyes that strayed where hands should never stray She thought she was wanton ever since she was a girl Mr. Feathers, Mr. Feathers The kindness in every smile that would curl into a sneer Oh my dear, Mr. Feathers is near Her lover is calling Something is spoiling It's really appalling You pleased and you promised You never saw it through Nobody knows the damage that we do The damage that we do
