[00:00:00] Church Underground - Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:03] She stood spotlit in a plain print dress

[00:00:08] Came howling out of the wilderness

[00:00:12] There beat a cunning and murderous heart

[00:00:17] Beneath that calm exterior

[00:00:21] You know my name

[00:00:23] You don't know my mind

[00:00:26] Don't doubt my eyes

[00:00:27] They betray the past

[00:00:30] And I've already forgotten

[00:00:34] Much more than you will ever know

[00:00:39] Every word that I have spoken is true

[00:00:43] Except for one that were broken in two

[00:00:48] Trying to make peace after a long night of pretend

[00:00:52] Need a pawnbroker or moneylender

[00:00:57] Why do you do me down mister

[00:01:01] Sing hallelujah sister

[00:01:10] Turn up the volume just to turn it down

[00:01:14] The trivial secrets buried with profound

[00:01:18] It's enough to put a church underground

[00:01:25] It's enough to put a church underground

[00:01:33] Deflowered young and then ever since

[00:01:38] She's tried to wash off his fingerprints

[00:01:42] So every charlatan and prince

[00:01:47] Was made to feel inferior

[00:01:51] She worked for tips in a 10 cent dance

[00:01:56] Said moving pictures might pay perchance

[00:02:00] 10000 one way tickets to the sparkling coast

[00:02:05] From the blank interior

[00:02:09] Everybody's either talking in code

[00:02:13] Or getting ready to explode

[00:02:17] And she was singing with five piece band

[00:02:22] Seems that no one really wants this sound

[00:02:27] Why do you do me down mister

[00:02:31] Sing hallelujah sister

[00:02:40] Turn up the volume just to turn it down

[00:02:44] The trivial secrets buried with profound

[00:02:48] It's enough to put a church underground

[00:02:55] It's enough to put a church underground

[00:03:03] The shaft of fanlight streaked with rain

[00:03:08] Poured through the glass punched through the pain

[00:03:12] A holy picture hidden in the midden of that poisoned stitch

[00:03:19] Her lonely voice was just a ruin in these riches

[00:03:26] She must have been dreaming this all along

[00:03:30] Could she be redeeming herself in song

[00:03:35] I'm no one's martyred plaster saint

[00:03:39] Below the grease beneath the paint

[00:03:42] I'm rolling like barrel

[00:03:45] Swinging like a gallows

[00:03:47] I'm rising up fast like all hell and all hallows

[00:03:52] Why do you do me down mister

[00:03:56] Sing hallelujah sister

[00:04:05] I'll be damned or purgatory bound

[00:04:09] Before those jokers ever understand

[00:04:13] It's enough to put a church underground

[00:04:20] It's enough to put a church underground

[00:04:27] It's enough to put a church underground
