Hidden Shame (Album Version) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]
I'm sorry to say that you don't know me[00:00:06]
In many ways you never understood[00:00:09]
Each time I tried to tell the ugly truth[00:00:14]
You always let it pass you by[00:00:17]
You said I'd never tell you a lie[00:00:20]
Just because I could[00:00:21]
Did you really think I was a bad man [00:00:25]
You always said that "bad" should be my middle name[00:00:29]
But you don't know the half of it[00:00:33]
You don't know how that name fits[00:00:35]
You don't know my hidden shame[00:00:39]
Hidden shame shame shame[00:00:42]
That I can't get free[00:00:45]
From the blame and the torture and the misery[00:00:46]
Must it be my secret for eternity [00:00:51]
Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me[00:00:55]
Well there's a different kind of prison[00:01:05]
And it don't even have to look much like a cell[00:01:09]
It's already on your mind[00:01:13]
Boy we can see it in your eyes[00:01:15]
So here's the bars and walls as well[00:01:18]
Well you know I'm never coming home dear[00:01:21]
You said you'd stand by me until I cleared my name[00:01:26]
Sure it's easy to be strong[00:01:30]
When you know the charge is wrong[00:01:32]
But the days and weeks get long[00:01:34]
When you've got a hidden shame[00:01:38]
Hidden shame shame shame[00:01:41]
That I can't get free[00:01:43]
From the blame and the torture and the misery[00:01:45]
Must it be my secret for eternity [00:01:50]
Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me[00:01:54]
I had a friend when I was just a boy[00:02:09]
We were like brothers[00:02:13]
We would run and hide[00:02:14]
And we went walking on a high hillside[00:02:17]
And I really don't how it happened[00:02:21]
He turned to me and had this strange look in his eye[00:02:25]
And not a single word was spoken[00:02:30]
I must have pushed him but I don't remember why[00:02:34]
And all at once he lay there broken[00:02:38]
And I walked down without him and I buried it deep inside[00:02:41]
Hidden shame shame shame[00:02:45]
That I can't get free[00:02:47]
From the blame and the torture and the misery[00:02:49]
Must it be my secret for eternity [00:02:53]
Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me[00:02:57]
They say you always hurt the one you love[00:03:07]
And I'm not saying if I did or if I didn't[00:03:11]
But like my shame that kind of love is always hidden[00:03:15]
They locked me up here for the ideas in my head[00:03:20]
They never got me for the thing I really did[00:03:24]
Hidden shame shame shame[00:03:27]
That I can't get free[00:03:29]
From the blame and the torture and the misery[00:03:31]
Must it be my secret for eternity [00:03:35]
Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me[00:03:39]
You really don't know me[00:03:43]
You really don't know me[00:03:45]
