The Sweetest Punch Lyrics - Painted From Memory - Elvis Costello

You only saw red 

After I said, "How can we continue?" 

Hidden from your view 

In the blue corner that I painted myself into 

Then we started to fight 

And it changed everything 

Here's the ring 

You dropped the band, I can't understand it 

Not after all we've been through 

Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I 

Will find one to walk right into 

You knocked me out 

It was the sweetest punch 

The bell goes...

I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming 

We all say things we don't mean 

You can't take it back 

Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice? 

I can see I'll never win 

So if you're going 

Then you better go to him 

Then you better go to him 

I only saw stars 

I dropped my guard and that's how it ended 

What was I to do 

In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended? 

Then with seconds to go 

You delivered the blow 

Here I go 

Photos 

You dropped the band, I can't understand it 

Not after all we've been through 

Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I 

Will find one to walk right into 

You knocked me out 

It was the sweetest punch 

The bell goes... 

I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming 

We all say things we don't mean 

You can't take it back 

Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice? 

I can see I'll never win 

So if you're going 

Then you better go to him 

Then you better go to him
