Painted From Memory

Elvis Costello Painted From Memory Album

1.God Give Me Strength

(words sung by the character in the movie given in brackets)
Now i have nothing, so god give me strength
And if i'm strong i might still break
And i don't have anything to share
That i won't throw away into the air

That song is sung out
So god give me strength, god give me strength

When the phone doesn't ring
And i'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As i tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
So god give me strength,

Maybe i was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, i'm only human, i want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt

Since i lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
So god give me strength, god give me strength
