《Sleep》歌词

[00:02:48] Sleep - Elvis Costello

[00:02:48] The soldier asked my name and did I come here very often

[00:02:48] Well, I thought that he was asking me to dance

[00:02:48] In my holey coat and hat and him in his red bonnet

[00:02:48] We'd have made a lovely couple but we never had the chance

[00:02:48] And now you say that you've got to go

[00:02:48] Well, if you must you must

[00:02:48] I suppose that you need the sleep of the just

[00:02:48] Well, it was a powerful day and there were black crows in the road

[00:02:48] And I kept my strong opinions to my chest

[00:02:48] I suppose I should have told them that I was on fire for you

[00:02:48] When the bus burst into flames outside some place, 'The poet's rest'

[00:02:48] And now you say that you've got to go

[00:02:48] Well, if you must you must

[00:02:48] I suppose that you need the sleep of the just

[00:02:48] A girl woke up in a naked light and said, "Oh no, not again"

[00:02:48] He even looked like her brother in the army but she never mentions him

[00:02:48] He'll be tucked up in his bed tonight with his dirty-pictures, girl

[00:02:48] Saying, "You're some mother's daughter, you know

[00:02:48] Or is it immaterial girl?"

[00:02:48] Now she's pinned up upon the barracks wall in her home town

[00:02:48] All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions

[00:02:48] And as they speculate what she'd look like beneath that thin nightgown

[00:02:48] His family pride was rising up as he cast his eyes down
