The Devil Has All the Best Tunes

Paddy McAloon

[Refrain]
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

[Verse 1]
Heads or tails once I forget
I'm trying to master a new alphabet
Far too obliging to ever admit
I've never been keen on this 'Here boy' and 'Sit'
([?])
([?])

[Verse 2]
I don't want that ghost coming back again
Who will play fair?
For when I say this is double or quits ([?])
I double and stay-ay-ay ([?])
([?])
([?])

[Chorus]
One fine day there must be some old saying
I can say with truth in my heart
No sub-clauses in the way, and now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
Of course it's always over much too soon

[Refrain]
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

[Bridge]
Open yolk, there was a time I'd smile
Tell (many lies)
Like I want you then so I want you now
Lighting will pеrpetuate your mess
As I count (on my fingеrs)
That we add up to so much less ([?])
(People can't be honey bees always)

[Verse 3]
Fee-fi-fee, fo-fi-fum
I see you have met my stumbling tongue
Just one more faux-pas that I can commit
Learning the French for my eternal wit
([?])
([?])

[Verse 4]
I'm standing outside this narrative
What can I do?
Should I feign sleep
Or just cloister my heart and bury it deep? ([?])
(By-the-by [?])
([?] construction)

[Chorus]
One fine day, there must be some old saying
I can say with truth in my heart
No sub-clauses in the way, and now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
Of course it's always over much too soon
There must be someone saying
I can say with truth in my heart
Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday', and now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
And of course it's always over much too soon
There must be some old saying
I can say with truth in my heart
Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday', and now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
And of course it's always over much too soon

[Refrain]
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
