Alison by Elvis Costello

Alison by Elvis Costello as heard on One Tree Hill Season 6 Episode 5 entitled "You've Dug Your Own Grave, Now Lie In It"

Lyrics:
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
that you were not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress.
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you are loving some body.
I only know it isn't mine.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

Well I see you've got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
Bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
'cause I can't stand to see you this way.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
My aim is true.

My Dad brought me hear. I heard him playing it on the guitar a lot so i decided to listen to it. Thx Dad!

Such a great tune. Love Elvis (this one). Everything but the Girl did a great acoustic cover of this back in the 80's. Worth checking out.

I got here thanks to Jimmy Smits singing it in the west wing. Does it matter where people heard it? We can't all have lived during the original releases of the great classics. As long as the songs keep on reaching new audiences and therefore are kept alive.
