Man Out Of Time (Live At The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA/2011) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/The Imposters[00:00:00]
Written by:Elvis Costello[00:00:00]
So this is where he came to hide[00:00:10]
When he ran from you[00:00:14]
In a private detective's overcoat[00:00:19]
And dirty dead man's shoes[00:00:23]
The pretty things of Knightsbridge[00:00:28]
Lying for a minister of state[00:00:31]
Are a far cry from the nod and wink[00:00:37]
Here at traitor's gate[00:00:41]
'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down[00:00:45]
And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around[00:00:49]
To murder my love is crime[00:00:56]
But will you still love[00:01:00]
A man out of time[00:01:07]
There's a tuppeny hapenny millionaire[00:01:19]
Looking for a fourpenny one[00:01:24]
With a tight grip on the short hairs[00:01:28]
Of the public imagination[00:01:32]
But for his private wife and kids somehow[00:01:38]
Real life becomes a rumour[00:01:42]
Days of dutch courage[00:01:46]
Just three French letters and a German sense of humour[00:01:48]
He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge[00:01:55]
He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege[00:01:59]
To murder my love is crime[00:02:06]
But will you still love[00:02:10]
A man out of time[00:02:18]
The biggest wheels of industry[00:02:30]
Retire sharp and short[00:02:34]
And the after dinner overtures[00:02:39]
Are nothing but an after thought[00:02:44]
Somebody's creeping in the kitchen[00:02:49]
There's a reputation to be made[00:02:52]
Whose nerves are always on a knife's edge[00:02:57]
Who's up late polishing the blade[00:03:01]
Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning[00:03:06]
You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning[00:03:10]
To murder my love is crime[00:03:17]
But will you still love[00:03:22]
A man out of time[00:03:27]
But will you still love[00:03:31]
A man out of time[00:03:36]
But will you still love[00:03:40]
A man out of time[00:03:46]
