《The Delivery Man》歌词

[00:00:00] The Delivery Man - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/The Imposters

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] Was able so Vivian said

[00:00:04] Her shoulders flung forward

[00:00:07] Her lips in a purse

[00:00:11] She talks like the beauty that she never was

[00:00:17] Of the fabulous wild nights that she never has

[00:00:23] In a certain light he looked like Elvis

[00:00:29] In a certain way he feels like Jesus

[00:00:35] Everyone dreams of him just as they can

[00:00:41] But he's only the humble delivery man

[00:01:01] Geraldine blushes and brushes away

[00:01:07] The cigarette ashes that Vivian scatters

[00:01:14] Stares out of the window at the things that she says

[00:01:20] While gossip within her competes with the widow

[00:01:26] Ever since he's gone she feels like crying all the time

[00:01:31] She knows for sure Vivian is lying

[00:01:37] Now she has a daughter to raise as she can

[00:01:43] But she just wouldn't trust that delivery man

[00:01:53] Ivy puts down the ghost story she's reading

[00:01:58] Looks up at that face on the wall

[00:02:03] Thinking about how her father lay bleeding

[00:02:08] Shot in the back 'cos orders were misleading

[00:02:13] How a flag and a medal don't have any meaning

[00:02:20] On the 5th of July as they tore down the fair

[00:02:27] And he'd seen all the local girls who were worth kissing

[00:02:33] With the smell of the gunpowder still in the air

[00:02:40] They noticed that Abel and Ivy were missing

[00:02:46] In a certain light he looked like Elvis

[00:02:51] In a certain way he seemed like Jesus

[00:02:57] He said why can't you be kind to me like you were meant to be

[00:03:04] When they let me out I had a brand new identity

[00:03:10] Now everyone dreams of me just as they can

[00:03:17] I want to be your delivery man

[00:03:28] In a certain light he looked like Elvis

[00:03:33] In a certain way he seemed like Jesus

[00:03:38] In a certain light he looked like Elvis

[00:03:44] In a certain way he seemed like Jesus

[00:03:49] In a certain light he looked like Elvis

[00:03:54] In a certain way he feels like Jesus
