My Brave Face - Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello

I’ve been living in style

Unaccostumed as I am

To the luxury life

I’ve been hitting the town

But it didn’t hit back

I’ve been doing the rounds

Unaccostumed as I am

To the time on my hands

Now I don’t have to tell anybody

When I’m going to get back

Ever since you went away

I’ve had this sentimental inclination

Not to change a single thing

As I pull the sheets back on the bed

I want to go bury my head

In your pillow

Now that I’m alone again

I can’t stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

And take me to that place

Where I can’t find my brave face

Where I can’t find my brave face

My brave, my brave, my brave face

I’ve been living a lie

Unaccostumed as I am

To the work of a housewife

I’ve been breaking up

Dirty dishes and throwing them away

Ever since you left I have been trying to compose

A «baby will you please come home» note meant for you

As I clear away another untouched t.v.

dinner

From the table I laid for two

Now that I’m alone again

I can’t stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

And take me to that place

Where I can’t find my brave face

Where I can’t find my brave face

My brave, my brave, my brave face
