Stella Hurt Elvis Costello & The Imposters

[Verse 1]
You should wear your red galoshes
Walking over the city pride
Streets are paved with heaven's pennies
Gutters full of suicides

[Verse 2]
Teddy steadily fell from grace
Somewhere near Arcadia
Once she overheard a voice
She didn't hear on the radio

[Verse 3]
Velvet gloves and country clubs
Were never going to hold her
Ringing the necks of silly southern belles
Who wanted to scold her

[Chorus]
Don't bring me down
I'm trouble bound
Blue song, red alert
Who made Stella hurt?

[Verse 4]
Teddy soon dropped out of sight
Turned up in another town
Changed her name for the spotlight
Singing like a blue bird in a sequin gown
