Damnation's Cellar - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet (柏洛斯基弦乐乐团)[00:00:00]

Did anybody notice over marmalade and eggs[00:00:04]

In between the princess legs[00:00:08]

What with wars and floods and beggars[00:00:12]

Not to mention stocks and shares[00:00:15]

If you have a moment to spare[00:00:18]

Can you write and reassure me that I have seen[00:00:21]

They're constructing a time machine[00:00:26]

There will be no need for the obituary pages[00:00:31]

We can have any hero from the bygone ages[00:00:34]

Til the truth emerges the argument rages[00:00:39]

The major and the minor[00:00:43]

Turn from tallow into tar[00:00:46]

Should we leave them in their place[00:00:51]

Down in damnation's cellar[00:00:55]

When any form of deity that you might enjoy[00:01:04]

Can be conjured with a test-tube and a flame[00:01:08]

If it's out there then science can explain it[00:01:11]

Or at least remove the blame[00:01:14]

And if there's is anyone[00:01:16]

You'd like to see again[00:01:17]

The speak up quickly[00:01:20]

Send us back Da Vinci[00:01:22]

Then we don't have to ponder[00:01:23]

The maddening smile of La Giaconda[00:01:26]

The critics say Nijinsky the dancer of course[00:01:30]

While the punters would probably prefer the horse[00:01:33]

You'll find it's quicker than history[00:01:37]

Cheaper than divorce[00:01:39]

The major and the minor[00:01:42]

Turn from tallow into tar[00:01:45]

Should we leave them in their place[00:01:50]

Down in damnation's cellar[00:01:54]

Bring back Liberace or Ollie and Stan[00:02:02]

Shakespeare will have to wait his turn[00:02:06]

Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return[00:02:10]

I suppose we live and learn[00:02:13]

Though it's hard to believe[00:02:15]

As we cheerfully burn[00:02:17]

It's curious[00:02:19]

Some will call for justice[00:02:20]

There are murders to solve[00:02:22]

What about Hitler[00:02:24]

Or at least lee Harvey Oswald[00:02:26]

Give us this day[00:02:28]

And everything we squander[00:02:29]

Anyone beautiful[00:02:32]

Somebody blonder[00:02:34]

They'll never please mankind[00:02:36]

So lie back and enjoy it[00:02:38]

Stop press they've just decided to destroy it[00:02:40]

The major and the minor[00:02:44]

Turn from tallow into tar[00:02:47]

Should we leave them in their place[00:02:52]

Down in damnation's cellar[00:02:56]
