Brilliant Mistake (Album Version/Live In Studio) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/His Confederates[00:00:00]

He thought he was the King of America[00:00:11]

Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine[00:00:16]

Now I try hard not to become hysterical[00:00:21]

But I'm not sure if I am laughing or crying[00:00:25]

I wish that I could push a button[00:00:31]

And talk in the past and not the present tense[00:00:33]

And watch this hurtin' feeling[00:00:41]

Disappear like it was common sense[00:00:44]

It was a fine idea at the time[00:00:52]

Now it's a brilliant mistake[00:00:57]

She said that she was working for the ABC News[00:01:16]

It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use[00:01:21]

Her perfume was unspeakable it lingered in the air[00:01:27]

Like her artificial laughter her mementos of affairs[00:01:31]

"Oh" I said "I see you know him[00:01:37]

Isn't that very fortunate for you "[00:01:40]

And she showed me his calling card[00:01:47]

He came third or fourth and there were more than one or two[00:01:50]

He was a fine idea at this time[00:01:57]

Now he's a brilliant mistake[00:02:02]

He thought he was the King of America[00:02:22]

But it was just a boulevard of broken dreams[00:02:28]

A trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals[00:02:33]

The words of love in whispers and the acts of love in screams[00:02:38]

I wish that I could push a button[00:02:43]

And talk in the past and not the present tense[00:02:46]

And watch this lovin' feeling[00:02:54]

Disappear like it was common sense[00:02:56]

I was a fine idea at the time[00:03:04]

Now I'm a brilliant mistake[00:03:09]

I was a fine idea at the time[00:03:19]

Now I'm a brilliant mistake[00:03:24]
