《Brilliant Mistake》歌词

[00:00:00] Brilliant Mistake (Album Version/Live In Studio) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/His Confederates

[00:00:11] He thought he was the King of America

[00:00:16] Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine

[00:00:21] Now I try hard not to become hysterical

[00:00:25] But I'm not sure if I am laughing or crying

[00:00:31] I wish that I could push a button

[00:00:33] And talk in the past and not the present tense

[00:00:41] And watch this hurtin' feeling

[00:00:44] Disappear like it was common sense

[00:00:52] It was a fine idea at the time

[00:00:57] Now it's a brilliant mistake

[00:01:16] She said that she was working for the ABC News

[00:01:21] It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use

[00:01:27] Her perfume was unspeakable it lingered in the air

[00:01:31] Like her artificial laughter her mementos of affairs

[00:01:37] "Oh" I said "I see you know him

[00:01:40] Isn't that very fortunate for you "

[00:01:47] And she showed me his calling card

[00:01:50] He came third or fourth and there were more than one or two

[00:01:57] He was a fine idea at this time

[00:02:02] Now he's a brilliant mistake

[00:02:22] He thought he was the King of America

[00:02:28] But it was just a boulevard of broken dreams

[00:02:33] A trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals

[00:02:38] The words of love in whispers and the acts of love in screams

[00:02:43] I wish that I could push a button

[00:02:46] And talk in the past and not the present tense

[00:02:54] And watch this lovin' feeling

[00:02:56] Disappear like it was common sense

[00:03:04] I was a fine idea at the time

[00:03:09] Now I'm a brilliant mistake

[00:03:19] I was a fine idea at the time

[00:03:24] Now I'm a brilliant mistake
