Our Little Angel Lyrics

Cover art for Our Little Angel lyrics by Elvis Costello

The singer could be the uncle to a woman being wooed by what he views as an unsuitable suitor.

While his catalog of the faults and motives of this suitor are devastating, the attack is extremely witty and funny.

The first two lines are ambiguous as to the place: a wedding chapel, a bar, a cabaret? I suppose any of them could be where Elvis himself could think he made life-changing "mistakes".
