《A Voice In The Dark》歌词

[00:00:00] A Voice In The Dark - Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:15] You can read right through a book of matches

[00:00:18] But that won't make you smart

[00:00:21] You can laugh in the face of watches

[00:00:25] But time will only break your heart

[00:00:28] Kings reign beneath umbrellas

[00:00:32] Hide pennies down in cellars

[00:00:35] And money pours down and yet

[00:00:38] Not everyone gets soaking wet

[00:00:42] When bores and bullies conspire

[00:00:46] To stamp out your spark

[00:00:49] Listen for a voice in the dark

[00:00:55] Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon

[00:00:59] And a wolf begins to howl in tune

[00:01:02] I announced for all mankind a boon

[00:01:06] Stand aside you big baboon

[00:01:08] Now I'm the a prize invention girl

[00:01:10] You're the image of yourself

[00:01:12] Forget your cares

[00:01:14] Your disapproving stares

[00:01:16] I'm not here to try to jump your borders

[00:01:20] Just ask your nieces and daughters

[00:01:23] I'm flat as sole I'm happy as a clam

[00:01:26] But you don't know the kind of man I am

[00:01:30] Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal

[00:01:33] Now my net is overflowing

[00:01:36] And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing

[00:01:40] I've got something right there

[00:01:41] You might want to hear

[00:01:44] I have no fear lend a hand lend an ear

[00:01:47] If your rent money is in arrears

[00:01:51] We'll be striking up a symphony bandstand

[00:01:55] Long of hair and loose of tooth

[00:01:58] There'll be pirouettes and startling handstands

[00:02:02] And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth

[00:02:05] When all is said that then redundant

[00:02:08] They gallivant in peg leg pants

[00:02:12] I'll be your servant

[00:02:13] You'll be my pal

[00:02:15] And I'll be faithful you know I shall

[00:02:19] There's no fool like an old fool

[00:02:23] Who blames it all upon his youth

[00:02:26] When times are tough and you find you're down

[00:02:30] Without a star to wish upon

[00:02:33] Listen for a voice in the dark

[00:02:40] I was striking through a box of matches

[00:02:43] Hoping that one would spark

[00:02:47] I heard somebody calling to me

[00:02:50] A voice in the dark

[00:02:54] The sound both wild and gentle

[00:02:57] Daring and confidential

[00:03:01] I thought there was music playing

[00:03:04] But it was all and only talk

[00:03:07] When liars and bullies conspire to stamp out your spark

[00:03:15] Fill up that empty space in your heart

[00:03:18] Listen up when the herald says hark

[00:03:22] Believe in a voice in the dark
