You Stole My Bell Lyrics - In Motion Pictures - Elvis Costello

There is a place 

Underneath the staircase 

Where I keep the evidence 

Of what once would offer peace 

In a deep blue velvet box, filled with joy and pride 

Should I pick the locks? Should I peek inside? 

Can I stand the sight of those happy days? 

Should I strike a match, burn them all away? 

'Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chime 

And the clock spins 'round but it won't keep time 

There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world 

But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you 

But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So here we are 

But it's not quite like we thought 

Those things were priceless then 

Now I know, they can't be bought 

In a deep blue velvet box, fastened with a pin 

Should I lift the lid? Should I look within? 

Was it my last chance or my first mistake? 

Is it just a step that we'll never take?
