《Dr. Watson， I Presume》歌词

[00:00:00] Dr. Watson, I Presume - Elvis Costello

[00:00:01] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:10] I sat in a motel room with the doctor

[00:00:14] Just before we were supposed to sing

[00:00:18] He said regarding this guardian wing

[00:00:23] This black and clipped misshapen thing

[00:00:27] Hobbling on from claw to ring

[00:00:32] Hung upside down and cawing

[00:00:37] Pecking at carrion of the fallen

[00:00:41] Battalion

[00:00:42] Thawing

[00:00:44] On frozen mooring

[00:00:50] Blackbird in a crust no more

[00:00:54] They fell down four and twenty

[00:00:59] Bloodstained on the land of want and plenty

[00:01:03] Now raven's standing at his shoulder

[00:01:08] Stared with eyes of molten solder

[00:01:12] Dripping on a lacquer box

[00:01:16] Introducing the keys to locks

[00:01:21] Seven talents there where hidden

[00:01:26] Mysterious and some forbidden

[00:01:30] Take the honey from the comb

[00:01:35] Ravel thread around the loom

[00:01:39] Dig the dirt up from the tomb

[00:01:44] Dr.Watson I presume

[00:01:59] One will follow

[00:02:00] Two unknown sorrow

[00:02:04] Three for laughter

[00:02:05] Four ever after

[00:02:08] Five foot flood the waters hit

[00:02:13] Six feet deep the eternal pit

[00:02:17] Seven prayers and seven pleas

[00:02:22] To eight imagined deities

[00:02:26] Cat o'nine tails

[00:02:28] Cat of nine lives

[00:02:31] Brides turned into old wives tales

[00:02:35] Your complexion colors then it pales

[00:02:40] And into the sunset it sails

[00:02:45] Soon these secrets will be scattered

[00:02:49] Heaven knows what lies inside

[00:02:54] It took a moment to discover

[00:02:59] A lifetime to decide

[00:03:03] Take the honey from the comb

[00:03:08] Ravel thread around the loom

[00:03:12] Dig the dirt up from the tomb

[00:03:17] Dr.Watson I presume
