Elvis Costello - Big Tears Lyrics

Send "Big Tears" ringtones to your cell

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 

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
