Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve Lyrics
The song Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve is performed by Elvis Costello .
Pardon me, madam, my name is Eve
I think it's time for you to leave
I don't believe that we have met
That's one thing you would not forget
In another time or life
When I was his only wife
When I was his only bride
Before I was torn out from his side.
In the orchard apples are withering
In the shadows something is slithering
So go along there is you must
And try to do as I suggest
He's just a gathering of dust.
And if he can't recall my name
Tell him to take his time
It's worth recovering
Look at me and what I'm covered in
I'm covered in shame.
I came back looking for my man,
Wandered everywhere and then
Stood outside and gazed upon a beautiful garden,
A shimmering pond
See the sunlight on the leaves that dapple
Do you see my little teethmarks on the apple?
Don't close the door on my hand I'm offering
There is always someone on the outside
Doing all of the suffering.
In the orchard apples are withering
In the shadows something is slithering
But in another time or life
When I was his only wife
When I was his only bride
Before I was torn out,
Before I was torn out,
Before I was torn out from his side.
Pardon me, madam, my name is Eve,
Pardon me, madam, my name is Eve
I think it's time for one of us to leave.
Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve
