[ti:When It Sings] [ar:Elvis Costello] [al:North] [by:] [offset:500] [00:00.00]Elvis Costello - When It Sings [00:30.26] [00:32.26]All the words you say to me [00:36.14]Have music in them [00:40.17]All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism [00:48.00]And a selfish boy looks through a prism [00:56.08]And says what is [01:00.33]But never asks what isn't [01:06.48] [01:11.07]But a voice contains many precious things [01:20.05]It laughs [01:23.44]And then it sings [01:26.95]And all the lies that we can tell [01:34.72]To our foolish selves [01:45.44] [01:47.90]Maybe this is the love song that I refused to [01:56.53]Write her when I loved her like I used to [02:03.93]And I fear my heart may spin and fracture [02:11.95]Like tears of stone falling from a statue [02:22.61] [02:26.85]But a voice contains all that's true and false [02:35.66]Then cries for someone else [02:42.39]And for some honest tenderness [02:49.79]So I must confess [03:00.16] [03:01.53]All the words you say to me [03:05.40]Have music in them [03:09.43]All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism [03:17.38]And a selfish boy looks through a prism [03:25.35]And says what is [03:29.73]But never asks what isn't [03:38.45] [03:45.51] [03:49.50]END
