Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve Lyrics - Momofuku - Elvis Costello

Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve 

I think it's time for you to leave 

I don't believe that we have met 

That's one thing you would not forget 

In another time or life 

When I was his only wife 

When I was his only bride 

Before I was torn out from his side 

In the orchard apples are withering 

In the shadows something is slithering 

So go along there if you must 

And try to do as I suggest 

He's just a gathering of dust 

And if he can't recall my name 

Tell him to take his time, it's worth recovering 

Look at me, and what I'm covered in 

I'm covered in shame

I came back looking for my man 

Wandered everywhere and then 

Stood outside and gazed upon 

A beautiful garden, a shimmering pond 

See the sunlight on the leaves that dapple 

Did you see my little teeth marks on the apple? 

Don't close the door on the hand I'm offering 

There is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering 

In the orchard, apples are withering 

In the shadows, something is slithering 

But in another time or life 

When I was his only wife 

When I was his only bride 

Before I was torn out 

Before I was torn out 

Before I was torn out

Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve 

Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve 

I think it's time for one of us to leave
