I HEAR A MELODY As recorded by Elvis Costello (From the 1977 Album MY AIM IS TRUE - CD DELUXE EDITION) [Intro] [Verse 1] It’s easy to do it’s not so easy to say I was talking to you when you took my tongue away I hear a melody and I feel so ashamed I got nothing you’d need and you’re so hard to blame [Chorus] I hear a melody I hear a melody I hear a melody and you’re so hard to blame [Verse 1] You will never work out I know that’s easy to see So the way that I want you to stay is hidden in me You’ll never know the fool I’m feeling tonight But it’s best that you never know ’cause I know it’s not right [Chorus] I hear a melody I hear a melody I hear a melody and I know it’s not right I hear a melody I hear a melody I hear a melody and I know it’s not right
