Costello, Elvis - Mistress And Maid Lyrics
She said, "Come in, my dear,
You're looking tired tonight
Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie
And fix you your usual drink"
Takes a magazine
Kicks off his shoes
As he studies the form
Of every appealing soubrette
But where are the flowers that he used to bring?
Every endearing remark
Reminds her of passionate promises
That he only made in the dark
In her bed
She wants to shout at the back of his head
Look at me, look at me, look at me
I'm afraid
See what it's come to
I'm just your mistress and maid
The wine is warm
But the dinner is cold
The look in his eye tells her it won't be long
Till the girls on the page come to life
And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring
With every endearing remark
And all of the passionate promises
He'll never fulfil in the dark
In their bed
She wants to shout at the back of his head
Look at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.
See what it's come to
I'm not your mistress and maid
See what it's come to
I'm not your mistress and maid

Costello, Elvis Mistress And Maid Comments
Delightful
sad he did this live once. would be amazing to see it today. so many hidden gems from his 80s and 90s that are never getting the appreciation they deserve
This is from St. James Palace London - Royal College Of Music benefit 23 March 1995.
Amazing!
Because everything they did together was terrific and they are the two greatest songwriters alive.
This perfomance should be around 1992,although the bootleg date says ''1998''.
Early 90's, they also dueted on one after 909,
