Elvis Costello And The Attractions A Good Year For The Roses Lyrics

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left em, but at least your lips caressed them while you packed
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it, thats so much more than I can say for me

What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin
Funny I dont even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
Its been a good year for the roses

After three full years of marriage, its the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason were not talkin', theres so little left to say we haven't said
While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind, I find I havent said a word
From the bedroom the familiar sound of a baby's cryin' goes unheard

What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin
Funny I dont even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
Its been a good year for the roses
