Elvis Costello – Accidents Will Happen Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: Armed Forces

Oh I just don^,t know where to begin
Though he says he^,ll wait forever
It^,s now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she can^,t go home
Without a chaperone

[Chorus:]
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you^,re not the only one

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I don^,t want to hear it
^,Cause I know what I^,ve done

There^,s so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
[ Accidents Will Happen lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/accidents-will-happen/ ]
They say you^,re so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone

[Chorus]

And it^,s the damage that we do
And never know
It^,s the words that we don^,t say
That scare me so

There^,s so many people to see
So many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until you^,re well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

[Chorus]

I know, I know, [Repeat]
