《Suit Of Lights》歌词

[00:00:00] Suit Of Lights - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:00] Written by：Declan MacManus

[00:00:01] While Nat King Cole sings welcome to my world

[00:00:05] You request some song you hate you sentimental fool

[00:00:09] And it's the force of habit

[00:00:13] If it moves then you f**k it

[00:00:15] If it doesn't move you stab it

[00:00:17] And I thought I heard the working man's blues

[00:00:21] He went out to work that night and wasted his breath

[00:00:26] Outside there was a public execution

[00:00:30] Inside he died a thousand deaths

[00:00:34] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:00:37] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:00:42] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:00:47] And they put him in a suit of lights

[00:00:57] In the perforated first editions

[00:01:01] Where they advocate the hangman's noose

[00:01:06] Then tell the sorry tale of the spent Princess

[00:01:10] Her uncouth escort looking down her dress

[00:01:14] Anyway they say that she wears the trousers

[00:01:18] And learnt everything that she does

[00:01:22] And doesn't know if she should tell him yes

[00:01:27] Or let him go

[00:01:32] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:01:36] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:01:40] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:01:45] And they put him in a suit of lights

[00:01:48] Well it's a dog's life in a rope leash or a diamond collar

[00:01:57] It's enough to make you think right now

[00:02:01] But you don't bother

[00:02:05] For goodness sake as you cry and shake

[00:02:09] Let's keep you face down in the dirt where you belong

[00:02:15] And think of all the pleasure that it brings

[00:02:21] Though you know that it's wrong

[00:02:26] And there's still life in your body

[00:02:29] But most of it's leaving

[00:02:35] Can't you give us all a break

[00:02:38] Can't you stop breathing

[00:02:42] And I thought I heard the working man's blues

[00:02:47] I went to work that night and wasted my breath

[00:02:51] Outside they're painting tar on somebody

[00:02:55] It's the closest to a work of art that they will ever be

[00:03:03] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:03:07] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:03:11] And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground

[00:03:16] And they put him in a suit of lights

[00:03:21] And they put him in a suit of lights

[00:03:25] And they put him in a suit of lights
