《Edith and the Kingpin》歌词

[00:00:00] Edith And The Kingpin - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:23] The big man arrives

[00:00:31] Disco dancers greet him

[00:00:36] Plainclothes cops greet him

[00:00:41] Big man small town fresh lipstick glistening

[00:00:54] Sophomore jive

[00:01:00] From victims of typewriters

[00:01:05] The band sounds like typewriters

[00:01:10] The big man he's not listening

[00:01:24] His eyes hold edith

[00:01:28] His left hand holds his right

[00:01:35] What does that hand desire

[00:01:43] That he grips it so tight

[00:01:55] Edith in the ring

[00:02:00] The passed-over girls are conferring

[00:02:07] The man with the diamond ring is purring

[00:02:15] All claws for now withdrawn

[00:02:26] One by one they bring

[00:02:31] His renegade stories to her

[00:02:38] His crimes and his glories to her

[00:02:45] In challenge they look on

[00:02:57] Women he has wanted grow old too soon

[00:03:08] He tilts their tired faces

[00:03:17] Gently to the spoon

[00:03:28] Edith in his bed

[00:03:35] A plane in the rain is humming

[00:03:42] The wires in the walls are humming

[00:03:48] Some song some mysterious song

[00:03:58] Bars in her head

[00:04:02] Beating frantic and snowblind

[00:04:07] Romantic and snowblind

[00:04:10] She says his crime belongs

[00:04:23] Edith and the kingpin

[00:04:28] Each with charm to sway

[00:04:34] Are staring eye to eye

[00:04:42] They dare not look away

[00:04:51] You know they dare not look away
