Elvis Costello
Magnificent Hurt
[Verse 1]
After talking in tongues, I began to preach
“What falls from the branch is an apple or peach”
Hold on to me, there's a red alert
It’s the way you make me feel
Magnificent hurt

[Verse 2]
I took a little walk, I took another stimulant
I shed a single tear for my predicament
Don't act surprised or insolent
It's the way you make me feel
Magnificent hurt

[Bridge]
When we first met, I knew you were beautiful
We fit like the seat of a blue mohair suit
And the pain that I fеlt
Let me know I'm alive
And I opеned my heart
To the way you make me feel
Magnificent hurt

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
I speak low and intimate like a cardboard sophisticate
What if this is true love, not some town-hall certificate
It’s the way you make me feel
Magnificent hurt
[Bridge]
I stood at the door and
I almost went through with it
Tight as the angle of my "Amen"
And I swore there and then
As I feign and I flirt
I unbuttoned my shirt
To the way you make me feel
Magnificent hurt

To the way you make me feel
Magnificent hurt

[Outro]
It’s the way you make me feel
It’s the way you make me feel
Magnificent
