[00:00:00] Sleep Of The Just - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:00] Written by：Declan MacManus

[00:00:10] Soldier asked my name into the I come here very often

[00:00:17] And further she was asking me to dance

[00:00:23] In my holy coat and hat

[00:00:26] And him in his red bonnet

[00:00:30] We'd have made a lovely couple but

[00:00:33] We never had the chance

[00:00:38] Now you say that you've gotta go

[00:00:45] Well if you must you must

[00:00:52] I suppose that you need the sleep of the just

[00:01:04] Well it was a powerful day

[00:01:07] And there were black crows in the road

[00:01:11] And I kept my strong opinions to my chest

[00:01:17] I suppose I should have told them that

[00:01:21] I was on fire for you

[00:01:24] When the bus burst into flames outside some place

[00:01:28] The Poet's Rest'

[00:01:33] Now you say you've gotta go

[00:01:40] Well if you must you must

[00:01:47] I suppose that you need the sleep of the just

[00:01:59] A girl woke up in a naked light

[00:02:02] And said Oh no not again

[00:02:05] He even looked like her brother in the army but

[00:02:09] She never mentions him

[00:02:12] He'll be tucked up in his bed tonight

[00:02:15] With his dirty pictures girl

[00:02:19] Saying 'You're some mother's daughter

[00:02:22] You know or is it

[00:02:23] Immaterial girl

[00:02:29] Now she's pinned up upon

[00:02:31] The barracks wall in her home town

[00:02:36] All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions

[00:02:43] And as they speculate what

[00:02:45] She'd look like beneath that thin nightgown

[00:02:50] His family pride was rising up as

[00:02:53] He cast his eyes down

[00:02:58] Now you say that you've gotta go

[00:03:05] If you must you must

[00:03:12] I suppose that you need the sleep of the just
