Favourite Hour - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]
Written by:Elvis Costello[00:00:01]
Figure hanging on a leather band[00:00:06]
Cog consults the watch he cups in his hand[00:00:15]
Bejewelled movement[00:00:22]
Measures lost and vanished time[00:00:24]
Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold[00:00:31]
Earth and quicklime[00:00:36]
So stay the hands arrest the time[00:00:39]
Till I am captured by your touch[00:00:45]
Blessings I don't count[00:00:49]
Small mercies and such[00:00:54]
The flags may lower[00:00:58]
As we approach the favourite hour[00:01:01]
Now theres a tragic waste of brutal youth[00:01:10]
Strip and polish this unvarnished truth[00:01:19]
The tricky door that gapes beneath the ragged noose[00:01:27]
The crippled verdict[00:01:36]
Begs again for the lamest excuse[00:01:38]
So stay the hands arrest the time[00:01:45]
Till I am captured by your touch[00:01:50]
Blessings I don't count[00:01:55]
Small mercies and such[00:02:00]
The flags may lower[00:02:05]
As we approach the favourite hour[00:02:07]
Pull out my eyes so I may never spy[00:02:17]
Waving branches as they're waving goodbye[00:02:26]
Their vile perfume brings to my mouth a bitter taste[00:02:35]
The murmuring brooks had best speak up[00:02:45]
It's a terrible waste[00:02:48]
So stay the hands arrest the time[00:02:54]
Till I am captured by your touch[00:03:00]
Blessings I don't count[00:03:04]
Small mercies and such[00:03:09]
The flags may lower[00:03:14]
As we approach the favourite I[00:03:17]
