[Verse]
D A G
We were sitting in the living room on the sofa, the wrong way round, looking out the window
D G D
It was quiet, and then in the car park across the road we saw Elvis:
A
"Look, there beside the postman's van"
N.C.
And he was walking round the postman's van
D
Looking in the open door
A G D
He looked as if he was thinking about getting in but then the postman came back
G
And he swaggered off
D A
Walked past the window and down the stairs
N.C.
And then at the bottom of the stairs right by the caretaker's office
N.C.
He started licking the pavement
D G
Every night now since we moved in that new house
D G
There's this noise outside the door at just about
D
Half seven or eight o'clock every night
A
And if we go and look outside the door
D A
Elvis'll be standing there waiting to be let in
G D
And then he wanders into the living room
G
Maybe sits down on one of the chairs
D
Or even lies down on the floor
A Bm
He doesn't say much, he just stays there for an hour or two, watching the TV
Bm
We talk to him a bit (aaaaah)
G
And then around ten o'clock (aaaaah)
D A
he'll go away again and not come back until the next night (aaaaah)
Bm
There's a lot of lanes and stuff around here, around the house (aaaaah)
G D
Although it's right in the middle of the city it seems quite like the country - it's dead hidden (aaaaah)
A
Safe I suppose, made for night living (aaaaah)
A
There's a lot of squirrels and birds
A
And Stuart says he's seen about nine foxes there
G
When he's jumped over the fence on his way to Byres Road
D
Sometimes you can go out walking
A
And when you've been out for a wee while even you don't know where you are anymore
A
So it would be pretty hard for anyone else to find you
G D
I suppose that's - that's why he spends so much time there that's why he's come to live there
D
Or maybe it's just the squirrels
D N.C.
I read about somewhere that he likes squirrels quite a lot
D A G
There's these two videos that we got for wedding presents
D
Called the e-files, e-files one and e-files two
G D
About how Elvis is supposed to be still alive
A
And one time when he came round we were watching one of those
D A
But he didn't say anything he just sat on the armchair
G D
He was playing with his collar a bit, and we watched it right through
G D A
And then when it finished he just got up and walked off into the mist and didn't say anything
Bm
The first few times he came round I didn't speak to him at all (aaaaah)
G
I wasn't really sure what to say (aaaaah)
D
And Karen spoke to him quite a lot - she seemed to know what to do more than I do (aaaaah)
A
He had quite a strange manner though, he'd go into your stuff (aaaaah)
Bm G
and look through it, then he'd maybe pick something up and play with it for a wee while
G
But he'd never make any comment about any of it
D
Seemed pretty rude to me
G
I just watched whatever Karen did, and listened to how she talked to him and then
D
After a while I started to copy that
G
And tell him a few things
D
Not really bothered about whether he responded or said anything back or not
G
I think the first time I spoke to him we were sitting up on the mezzanine
D
And I said that I would tell him about me and wee Karen
G
And how it was that we'd come to be living there
D
I thought he probably liked the fact that we were living there because he came round so much
G
so, I thought he might want to know how it was that it came about
D
We did it all over backwards, I told him (aaaaah)
G
First of all we got to know each other and then a while after that we met (aaaaah)
D G
And when we'd known each other for bout seven years we decided to have an anniversary (aaaaah)
G
And that went quite well (aaaaah)
D
So after the anniversary we had a honeymoon (aaaaah)
G
And that went well too (aaaaah)
D
So after that we decided that we would get married (aaaaah)
D G
That's why we're living there now (aaaaah)
D
I used to think my dad was Elvis (aaaaah)
G D G D
But I haven't told him that yet. I haven't told my dad either... (aaaaah)
