Elvis Costello & the Attractions, Elvis Costello

I see those newlyweds, their eyes wide and believing They bill and coo at the mention of Chez Nous Appearances can be deceiving [Chorus: x2] It's just a door and a window Four walls and a roof But a home of your own would be shatterproof We papered over all the cracks and painted a cat's lick and a promise The landlord was a man of few words, and most of them were ominous [Chorus: x2] It was nothing really to write home about Then one day it all appears too much Here comes my little hammer and its shatterproof touch He said, "Be practical, These are most unreasonable demands. Forget about the broken spectacles and the damage to your hand." [Chorus]
