《I Almost Had A Weakness》歌词

[00:00:00] I Almost Had A Weakness - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet (柏洛斯基弦乐乐团)

[00:00:34] Thank you for the flowers

[00:00:40] I threw them on the fire

[00:00:46] And I burned the photographs

[00:00:48] That you had enclosed

[00:00:50] God they were ugly children

[00:00:53] So you're the little bastard of

[00:00:54] That brother of mine

[00:00:56] Trying to trick a poor old woman

[00:00:59] Til I almost had a weakness

[00:01:11] Last week cousin Florence

[00:01:18] Bit your uncle Joe

[00:01:24] Hit him on the forehead

[00:01:25] With a knife and a fork

[00:01:27] Said that he looked like the devil

[00:01:30] Then she said pass the vinegar

[00:01:32] I'm beginning to think

[00:01:33] That I'm the only one who hasn't

[00:01:35] Taken to the drinking of it

[00:01:37] Though I almost had a weakness

[00:02:24] It pains me to mention

[00:02:30] These delicate concerns

[00:02:36] While I have to tolerate you family jewels

[00:02:40] I really mustn't grumble

[00:02:42] Cause when I die the cats and dogs

[00:02:44] Will jump up and down

[00:02:45] And you little swines will get nothing

[00:02:49] Though I almost had a weakness
