Me singing A good year for the roses.

This is an old Elvis costello number.

Here are the lyrics.
---------------------------
A good year for the roses - Elvis costello
---------------------------
I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin cold the way you left them
At least your lips caressed them
While you packed

And a lip print on a half filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it
That's so much more than I can say for me

But what a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowing
It's funny, I don't even care
And when you turned and walked away
And as the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses

After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that you
Haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talking
There's so little left to say,
We haven't said
While a million thoughts
Go running through my mind
I find I haven't spoke a word
And from the bedroom those familiar sounds of our one baby's cryin'
Goes unheard

But what a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowing
It's funny, I don't even care
And when you turned and walked away
And as the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses

I would like to see you sing Japan, Nightporter, that is a beautiful song :) well thats if you do requests :)

[jeffstunes]

@microchillin It is a beautiful song from the briliant album "Oil on canvas". I also love "Quiet life" and "Ghosts". Not forgetting their version of "I second that emotion". Unfortunately I have about 500 requests, and it's impossible to do most of them. I'll be straight with you. I'm not going to be able to get around to doing it. Thanks for the suggestion though. All the best :)

[microchillin]

Well done :)
