《A Century of Elvis》歌词

[00:00:02] Artist：belle and sebastian

[00:00:03] Songs Title：a century of elvis

[00:00:17] We were sitting in the living room on the sofa the wrong way round looking out the window

[00:00:21] It was quiet and then in the car park across the road we saw Elvis - look there beside the postman's van

[00:00:29] And he was walking round the postman's van looking in the open door

[00:00:34] He looked as if he was thinking about getting in but then the postman came back and he swaggered off

[00:00:40] Walked past the window and down the stairs and then at the bottom of the stairs right by the caretaker's office

[00:00:45] He started licking the pavement

[00:00:49] Every night now since we moved in that new house there's this noise outside the door at just about half seven or eight o' clock every night

[00:00:58] And if we go and look outside the door Elvis'll be standing there waiting to be let in

[00:01:06] And then he wanders into the living room maybe sits down on one of the chairs or even lies down on the floor

[00:01:11] He doesn't say much he just stays there for an hour or two watching the TV

[00:01:16] We talk to him a bit and then around ten o' clock he'll go away again and not come back until the next night

[00:01:30] There's a lot of lanes and stuff around here around the house - although it's right in the middle of the city

[00:01:35] It seems quite like the country it's dead hidden - safe I suppose made for night living

[00:01:42] There's a lot of squirrels and birds and Stuart says he's seen about nine foxes there

[00:01:50] When he's jumped over the fence on his way to Prior's Road

[00:01:54] Sometimes you can go out walking and when you've been out for a wee while even you don't know where you are anymore

[00:01:59] So it would be pretty hard for anyone else to find you

[00:02:03] I suppose that's why he spends so much time there that's why he's come to live there or maybe it's just the squirrels

[00:02:10] I read about somewhere that he likes squirrels quite a lot

[00:02:16] There's these two videos that we got for wedding presents - called the e-files

[00:02:20] E-files one and e-files two about how Elvis is supposed to be still alive

[00:02:27] And one time when he came round we were watching one of those but he didn't say anything he just sat on the armchair

[00:02:32] He was playing with his collar a bit and we watched it right through and then when it finished

[00:02:36] He just got up and walked off into the mist and didn't say anything

[00:02:43] The first few times he came round I didn't speak to him at all I wasn't really sure what to say

[00:02:50] And Karen spoke to him quite a lot - she seemed to know what to do more than I do

[00:02:54] He had quite a strange manner though he'd go into your stuff and look through it

[00:02:59] Then he'd maybe pick something up and play with it for a wee while but he'd never make any comment about any of it

[00:03:04] Seemed pretty rude to me

[00:03:07] I just watched whatever Karen did and listened to how she talked to him and then

[00:03:11] After a while I started to copy that and tell him a few things

[00:03:16] Not really bothered about whether he responded or said anything back or not

[00:03:22] I think the first time I spoke to him we were sitting up on the mezzanine and I said that I would tell him about me and wee Karen

[00:03:28] And how it was that we'd come to be living there

[00:03:31] I thought he probably liked the fact that we were living there because he came round so much

[00:03:35] So I thought he might want to know how it was that it came about

[00:03:40] We did it all over backwards I told him

[00:03:42] First of all we got to know each other and then a while after that we met

[00:03:47] And when we'd known each other for about seven years we decided to have an anniversary

[00:03:52] And that went quite well so after the anniversary we had a honeymoon and that went well too

[00:03:59] So after that we decided that we would get married

[00:04:02] That's why we're living there now I used to think my dad was Elvis but I haven't told him that yet

[00:04:12] I haven't told my dad either
