SONG: YOU STOLE MY BELL ARTIST: ELVIS COSTELLO VIDEO: https://youtu.be/r4GCHA6D5ls TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: YOU STOLE MY BELL ELVIS COSTELLO INTRO: VERSE: There is a place Underneath the staircase Where I keep the evidence Of what once would offer peace PRE-CHORUS: In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride Should I pick the locks? Should I peek inside? Can I stand the sight of those happy days? Should I strike a match burn them all away? CHORUS: ’Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chime And the clock spins ’round but it won’t keep time There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world But not one is the equal of you Heaven knows how much I love you Not one is the equal of you Heaven knows how much I love you VERSE: So here we are Fsus4 F But it’s not quite like we thought Those things were priceless then Now I know they can’t be bought PRE-CHORUS: In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin Should I lift the lid? Should I look within? Was it my last chance or my first mistake? Is it just a step that we’ll never take? CHORUS: ’Cause you stole my bell then you broke my chime Now the clock spins ’round but it won’t keep time There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world But not one is the equal of you Heaven knows how much I love you Not one is the equal of you Heaven knows how much I love you Not one is the equal of you Heaven knows how much I love you OUTRO:

La chanson évoque un sentiment de perte et de nostalgie, où le protagoniste se remémore des souvenirs précieux d'une relation passée. Il évoque des objets représentant des moments de bonheur, enfermés dans une boîte bleue, et se questionne sur la valeur de ces souvenirs. Le refrain révèle une profonde affection pour une personne unique, malgré la présence d'autres belles filles dans le monde, aucune ne pouvant égaler celle qu’il a perdue. Le contexte paraît être une réflexion sur la manière dont les relations et les souvenirs peuvent être à la fois précieux et douloureux. Avec une touche de mélancolie, l'artiste souligne la difficulté de tourner la page et de faire face à l'absence de quelqu'un qui occupait une place spéciale dans sa vie.
