《A Candymaker’s Knife In My Handbag》歌词

[00:00:00] A Candymaker's Knife In My Handbag - The Fiery Furnaces

[00:00:28] A night out in the tropics

[00:00:30] Turned out I couldn't cope

[00:00:32] After the School of Fancy Cookery

[00:00:35] With Antoinette Pope

[00:00:37] I learned brazing and saucing meringue and sift

[00:00:40] Knead flute and flour

[00:00:42] Each Thursday for an hour

[00:00:48] Cobblers and plum cakes tarts savory and sweet

[00:00:50] A candymaker's knife in my handbag

[00:00:59] A candymaker's knife in my handbag

[00:01:03] Well I learned brazing and saucing meringue and sift

[00:01:07] Knead flute and flour

[00:01:09] Each Thursday for an hour

[00:01:14] Cobblers and plum cakes tarts savory and sweet

[00:01:17] A candymaker's knife in my handbag

[00:01:25] A candymaker's knife in my handbag

[00:01:28] That night I was to meet my husband's father

[00:01:30] For the very first time

[00:01:31] I wore the scarf he sent to me

[00:01:33] French silk scarlet blue and cream

[00:01:37] He sits he waits a coffee on his knee

[00:01:40] I wonder if it's as bad as it might seem

[00:02:03] Zapped by the Zombie

[00:02:05] Zapped zapped by the Zombie

[00:02:09] Zapped by the Zombie in the two-door Dodge

[00:02:13] Twice-baked brioche and pastry pockets

[00:02:18] And lock its two-door Dodge

[00:02:24] Zapped by the Zombie

[00:02:27] Zapped zapped by the Zombie

[00:02:30] Zapped by the Zombie in the two-door Dodge

[00:02:38] And I did not fail

[00:02:40] To bust off a nail

[00:02:41] As the Dodge door handle dodges my hand

[00:02:44] Delicate delicate hold my hand

[00:02:46] Delicate nectarine upside-down chiffon cake

[00:02:48] Dodge down the downtown loop the loop lightly

[00:02:51] Hazelnut baby loaves

[00:02:53] Hazelnut baby loaves

[00:02:55] Hold my hand inside-out upside-down marzipan Milanese

[00:02:59] My brain is a blur

[00:03:01] Hodge-podge - cardinal slice - two-door brand new

[00:03:03] What am I gonna do

[00:03:05] 'Cause on the street the amber lights were hellish hot

[00:03:07] And the wind in the windows was not giving air

[00:03:10] And tropical Napeolons

[00:03:10] But it was too late and I didn't care

[00:03:13] And I didn't care

[00:03:14] Because first I went to meet Dr Christopolous and his wife Claudette

[00:03:17] Who at the time was my close girlfriend

[00:03:19] They picked my up in their brand-new Dodge

[00:03:20] And we went to Trader Vic's or Mr Rick's

[00:03:22] And I ordered like the others a Zombie

[00:03:24] And it bombed me it just bombed me

[00:03:26] And when we got to the stoop my father-in-law said "Were you attacked "

[00:03:29] My aunt being helpful

[00:03:30] Said something that made my heart just go sunk

[00:03:32] And with a look on her face like something had stunk

[00:03:34] "She's just drunk " she hissed

[00:03:36] I reached for the arm of the armchair and missed

[00:03:57] A night out in the tropics

[00:04:00] Turned out I couldn't cope

[00:04:02] After the School of Fancy Cookery

[00:04:04] With Antoinette Pope

[00:04:06] I wore the scarf he sent to me

[00:04:10] French silk scarlet blue and cream

[00:04:13] He sits he waits a coffee on his knee
