spooky girlfriend

• elvis costello'nun ayakkabısını bağlayacak, at kuyruğuna laf söylemeyecek, saatini ayarlayacak bir kız aradığını beyan ettiği şarkısı.
• sozlerini de yazayim tam olsun
  
  i want a girl to make a mess
  to do no wrong she must confess
  and then perhaps hitch up her dress
  'cos when the flashbulbs explode
  she's such a sensitive soul...
  
  i want a girl who is helpless and frail
  who won't pull on my ponytail
  i want a girl who has no past
  she's made up now
  but that won't last
  'cos when she sits on my knee
  and then she whispers to me
  
  'can't you see
  i could be, i could be
  your spooky girlfriend...'
  
  the broken toys are all scattered in the attic
  newspapers play with the words of the fanatic
  while the greeting cards are your most poetic lyric
  and the flat champagne is sweet sugar syrup
  
  i want to paint you with glitter and with dirt
  picture you with innocence and hurt
  the shutter closes
  exposes the shot
  she says, "are you looking up my skirt?"
  when you say "no"
  she says "why not?"
  
  i want a girl to turn my screw
  to wind my watch, to buckle my shoe
  and if she won't her mother will do
  but when she does as she's told
  we'll all turn platinum and gold
  
  but when she sits on my knee
  i hear her whispers to me
  'can't you see?'
  'i could be your spooky girlfriend.'
