    141 :: My Pretty Miss :: A Slow Drag with "Forgive Her Anything"
    Apr 25 2026
    Today's slow drag is with "Forgive Her Anything," from "Blood & Chocolate," Rykodisc/Demon Edition, released in 1995, with a slightly longer version, a "home demo," with opposing pronouns that profoundly shift the perspective of each iteration, found on the Rhino/Edsel version of "Mighty Like a Rose," released in 2002. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello's birth name. . . .

You'd forgive her anything If you knew what I have known I've been given and forgotten More than you will ever know Alternative Lyrics: Why is the radio so brutally cheerful This endless happiness overdose That it always was less of an idea and more of a boast Now you're burning in the bloom of life Until you're powder in the grave Or you're pounding on the counter begging for more Till you evaporate Chorus: You'd forgive her anything If you could win back her tender kiss You wonder where she is tonight As this town becomes pitiless Well, you couldn't sleep, you don't want to think anymore You listen for a footfall, a key in the door As the roof comes down and the walls move in So you didn't know it could feel like that Till the face turned away and the day turned black And the rain fell like a curtain Now it's your turn to begin To forgive her anything (Repeat Chorus) You'd forgive her anything If you knew what I know You'd forgive her anything Say, where did all your pride go?

    "Talking in The Dark" Lyrics

    I tried in vain to drive myself insane

    I talk to myself but I don't listen

    I found out what I was missing

    I miss talking in the dark

    Without you, I'm not conversational

    Without the sense of the occasional

    Without you, I miss talking in the dark

    When the barking and the biting is through

    We can talk like we're in love or talk like we're above it

    We can talk and talk until we talk ourselves out of it

    I look for the news, somebody to abuse

    I look at myself but it's so chancy

    I see things that I don't fancy

    I miss talking in the dark

    Without you, I'm not conversational

    Without the sense of the occasional

    Without you, I miss talking in the dark

    Without you, I miss talking in the dark

And on the few times I rang to propose There was a man there or so I'd suppose The greatest lover that you never had I'm just about glad They called time and vodka and lime In some far flung Canadian club Just about glad And there I was just waiting to fall Like a toe just aching to stub Just about glad Later on I could never accept it When you finally gave it all to him Just about glad And you said that my nurse was sweet But her lamp was just beginning to dim I'm just about glad That we never did that thing that we were going to do I'm just about glad I can look you in the eye But I can't say the same for you And though the passion still flutters and flickers It never got into our knickers For all of the courage that we never had I'm just about, I'm just about I'm just about, I'm just about (flutter and wow from the song of the same name, to flutter or flatter from Like Licorice) (Repeat Chorus) And it's all just a stupid creation Of my feverish imagination If I'm the greatest lover that you never had I'm just about, I'm just about I'm just about, I'm just about (Repeat Chorus) Is that a tear in your eye? Is that a tear in your eye? Is that a tear in your eye?
