Lyric discussion by Ozquonk 

Cover art for My Thief lyrics by Elvis Costello

Ah, Elvis. Where does your bitter sweet love for abandonment and surrender come from?

"I feel almost possessed So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then You can take all I have left I know it's over If you can't be my lover Be my thief"

Wonderful imagery. When contact with you as this nocturnal thief of my heart is the most I can have with you. The wound I nurse just to have you come to me.
