- Elvis Costello he是given me things 歌詞
- Elvis Costello
- Hes given me things you never would have
And if you did youd want them back Forgiven me things I didnt know that I had done, but just faded to black
Hes given me time and consolation Some verses to read and lines to say I will stay here for a while now He call me 'child' now But it works that way
Hes given me things you couldnt guess at I dont mean jewels although they were fine A way to depart, one way to enter A right to dismiss upon a whim When I close the door and youre supposing I kick up my heels and then I scream 'Why was I chosen?' Youll never know What I give to him
Hes given me things you never thought of Because they were not yours to give So take this pill and tranquilize And roll your eyes at the husbands Not the customers wives
Hes forgiven me trials and tears and tantrums And even all my false alarms You sat there amused while I was crying And just seemed to sigh but thats money can buy And now I know why I come back to him And now I know why youll never do Who are you? Out there with one penny You are so many And we are so few
So cover the canvas if youre leaving Theres a bowl in the hallways to wash your hands If the waters runs black please leave some silver Then step past the glass and never come back Im living up here and you can see me Yes, you can look but you cant touch Cause you dont belong, the air is thin here You may asphyxiate my dear For didnt you tell me 'You should hold me' 'Oh please, you must hold me, as if I were hung' To think you were exciting when love was frightening But I was so young
Hes given me things you never dreamed of Where hopes are dashed and trash is praised He has an awful lot of money The past can be bought and then erased
