Lyrics of Accidents Will Happen by Elvis Costello,The Attractions
verse
Oh, I just don't know where to begin
Love doesn't wait forever
It's now or never
But she keeps 'em hangin' on
The silly champion
She says she can't go home without a chaperone
chorus
Accidents will happen
They only hit and run
You used to be a victim now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
They only hit and run
I don't want to hear it cause I know what I've done
verse
There's so many fish in the sea
That only rise up on the sweat and smoke of mercury
But they keep you hangin' on
They say you're so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone
chorus
Accidents will happen
They only hit and run
You used to be a victim now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
They only hit and run
I don't want to hear it cause I know what I've done
verse
And it's the damage that we do we never know
It's the words that we don't say that scare me so
There's so many people to see
So many people you can check up on and add to your collection
But they keep you hangin' on
Until you're well hung
Your mouth is make up but your mind is undone
chorus
Accidents will happen
They're only hit and run
You used to be a victim now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
They only hit and run
I don't want to hear it cause I know what I
I know what I
I know what I've done
I know (x lots)
Writer(s): Elvis Costello
