The Only Flame In Town Lyrics By Elvis Costello The Atrractions

    i know a girl got my mind in a mess
    i never heard her say goodnight and god bless
    she’s not the only flame in town
    and when we’re alone we never quarrel
    i’m miles away now here’s the moral
    she’s not the only flame in town

    she’s not the only flame in town
    she’s got to stop thinking that i’m
    carrying this torch around

    he struck a match and it lit up her face
    we should have struck a match girl
    to burn down the whole place
    now you’re not the only flame in town
    but you blew hot and cold
    turned my heart to a cinder
    and with each passing day
    you’d be less tender and more tinder
    now you’re not the only flame in town

    she’s not the only flame in town
    she’s got to stop thinking that i’m
    carrying this torch around
    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame

    thought i saw your face in the fire
    but it’s so hard to remember
    even an inferno can cool down to an ember

    now you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame in town

    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame
    you’re not the only flame
