From the My Flame Burns Blue liner notes by Elvis Costello:

[Chorus]
That song is sung out

This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength

So God give me strength

[Outro]
Wipe her from my memory
I might as well
Wipe her from my memory
God give me strength
Wipe her from my memory
I might as well
