Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Room With No Number
Picture a hotel roomClothes scattered across the floorCovers pulled back from the pillowA sign hung on the doorTwo lovers locked up tightThrough the endless days and nightsHiding something they can`t showSomething no-one must know[Chorus:]There`s a room without a numberWhile the sign outside says there`sNo vacancy as you take your keyThey smile at you so understandinglyShe cried out in the nightWoke the porter from his sleepHe grinned slyly to himselfAs he went to fetch his keysLook what love has brought them toThis terrible nightmareHis or hers he could not tellAs they were sleeping there[Chorus:]And I wish he could beSongtexteThe man he was before he was meA girl arrived at first lightAnd inquired if they`d been seenAnd why the numbers ran from twelveMissing out thirteenAnd they said oh my darlingPut it down to superstitionTry to avoid a scandalAnd don`t arouse suspicionThey re-arranged the furnitureThey even papered over the doorThere`s a room without a numberWhile the sign outside says there`sNo vacancy as you take your keyThey smile just so so you know[Chorus:]
