Almost Ideal Eyes Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Here she comes with her almost ideal eyes 

And her flawless skin and her petulant pout 

The memory of such a long blonde alibi 

Still makes me want to shout out loud and clear 

When you clear your head my dear 

You can't come round here in those stolen clothes 

Telling me all about some mystery 

I hope she isn't one, I hope she isn't one of those 

Almost ideal eyes 

Viewed through a rosy hue 

So beautiful, trusting 

You'll find liberal is an insult now and care is what you pay for 

Be sure of what you wish upon, be careful what you pray for 

When you look into those almost ideal

Love is smiles, he will hypnotize you while 

He tries to analyze your dream 

Fill you up with all his big ideas while he really wants to make you 

Scream out loud at the phony innocence 

And the pained pretence and the dismal rage 

The vacant lot that thankfully time forgot 

Where you never have to act, you never have to act your age 

Almost ideal eyes 

Viewed through a rosy hue 

So beautiful, trusting 

You'll find stupid is a compliment and thrill is what you play for 

Be sure of what you wish upon, be careful what you pray for 

When you look into those almost ideal 

Photos 

In despair all your friends get uglier 

And you find you're wearing an evening gown 

Weeping over some tiny broken bird 

While the sky is decorated 

Shocking pink and a dirty shade of brown 

And you think you need to be tranquil 

Lies the fear that befits your new career 

Whatever you invent you'll never be content in 

Almost ideal eyes 

Viewed through a rosy hue 

So beautiful, trusting 

Rebellion is just currency, the moon is what you bay for 

Be sure of what you wish upon, be careful what you pray for 

When you look into those almost ideal 

When you look into those almost ideal 

When you look into those almost ideal 

Here she comes, here she comes now 

Here she comes, here she comes now
