Elvis Costello - Motel Matches lyrics
Somewhere in the distance
 I can hear who shot Sam
 This is my conviction that I am an innocent man
 Oh, you say, I'm unkind, I'm being as nice as I can
 Boys everywhere fumbling with the catches
 I struck lucky with motel matches
 Falling for you without a second look
 Falling out of your open pocket book
 Giving you away like motel matches
 Elvis Costello - Motel Matches - http://motolyrics.com/elvis-costello/motel-matches-lyrics.html
 I wake with the siren in an emergency
 Though your mind is full of love
 In your eyes there is a vacancy
 And you know what I do
 When the light outside changes from red to blue
 Boys everywhere fumbling with the catches
 I struck lucky with motel matches
 Falling for you without a second look
 Falling out of your open pocket book
 Giving you away like motel matches
