The Only Flame In Town Lyrics - Goodbye Cruel World - Elvis Costello

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

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
