(the Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes Lyrics - My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello

Oh, I used to be disgusted 

Now I try to be amused 

But since their wings have got rusted 

You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes 

But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain 

That's when I knew that I could not refuse 

And I won't get any older 

Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes 

I was watching while you're dancing away 

Our love got fractured in the echo and sway 

How come everybody wants to be your friend? 

You know that it still hurts me just to say it

Oh, I know that she's disgusted 

(Oh, why is that?) 

'Cause she's feeling so abused 

(Oh, that's too sad) 

She gets tired of the lust 

(Oh, I'm so sad) 

But it's so hard to refuse 

How can you say that I'm too old 

When the angels have stolen my red shoes? 

Oh, I said, "I'm so happy I could die" 

She said, "Drop dead" then left with another guy 

That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance 

Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence 

Oh, I used to be disgusted 

And now I try to be amused 

Since their wings have got rusted 

You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes

But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain 

That's when I knew that I could not refuse 

And I won't get any older 

Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes 

And I won't get any older 

Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes 

Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes 

Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes 

Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
