《Little Palaces》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Palaces - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
[00:00:00] Written by:Declan MacManus
[00:00:12] In Chocolate Town all the trains are painted brown
[00:00:16] On the silver paper of the wrapper
[00:00:21] There's a dapper little man
[00:00:23] And he wears a wax mustache
[00:00:26] That he twists with nicotine fingers
[00:00:28] As he drops his cigarette ash
[00:00:31] Someone comes and sleeps with it
[00:00:34] Then he doffs his cap
[00:00:36] There's a rat in someone's bedroom
[00:00:39] They're shutting someone's trap
[00:00:41] They'll soon be pulling down the little palaces
[00:00:49] And the doors swing back and forward from
[00:00:52] The past into the present
[00:00:54] And the bedside crucifixion turns from wood to phosphorescent
[00:00:59] And they're moving problem families from
[00:01:02] The South up to the North
[00:01:05] Mother's crying over some soft soap opera divorce
[00:01:10] And you say you didn't do it but
[00:01:12] You know you did of course
[00:01:15] And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces
[00:01:23] It's like shouting in a matchbox
[00:01:25] Filled with plasterboard and hope
[00:01:28] Like a picture of Prince William in
[00:01:31] The arms of John the Pope
[00:01:33] There's a world of good intentions and pity in their eyes
[00:01:38] The sedated homes of England theirs to vandalize
[00:01:44] So you knock the kids about a bit because
[00:01:47] They've got your name
[00:01:49] And you knock the kids about a bit until
[00:01:52] They feel the same
[00:01:54] And they feel like knocking down the little palaces
[00:02:23] You're the twinkle in your daddy's eye
[00:02:26] A name you spray and scribble
[00:02:30] You made the girls all turn their heads and in turn
[00:02:34] They made you miserable
[00:02:37] To be the heir apparent to the kingdom of the invisible
[00:02:44] So you knock the kids about a bit because
[00:02:47] They've got your name
[00:02:49] And you knock the kids about a bit until
[00:02:52] They feel the same
[00:02:55] And they feel like knocking down the little palaces
