Big Tears Lyrics - Rock & Roll Music - Elvis Costello

Everyone is busy with the regular routine 

The sniper just takes his aim 

Everyone is window shopping, no one is amazed 

Even if he hit you, you'd still think it's just a graze 

You go to a movie, you go to a show 

You think that you're living, you don't really know 

Big tears mean nothing 

You can count them as they fall 

Big tears mean nothing 

When you're lying in your coffin 

Tell me who's been taken in

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Oh, you talk about the new boss automatic clause 

But of course they make it all up for you 

Always fascinated by the weird edge of town 

Come home disappointed every time they put you down 

Laughing with the old boys, saying that it's all noise 

I suppose big tears mean nothing 

You can count them as they fall 

Big tears mean nothing 

When you're lying in your coffin 

Tell me who's been taken in 

All the buttons of my overcoat 

They have fallen off one by one 

You wouldn't even like me if you'd never had a drink 

You wouldn't even like me if you never stopped to think 

Standing in the shadow, turning wives to widows

Don't you know big tears mean nothing 

You can count them as they fall 

Big tears mean nothing 

When you're lying in your coffin 

Tell me who's been taken in 

Tell me, me or yous been taken in 

Tell me, tell me, tell me
