You Bowed Down - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

I expect you're entitled to know why I'm[00:00:16]

Making contact[00:00:20]

With acquaintances scattered all over the land[00:00:24]

I'd promise you now and again that I'd[00:00:31]

Honour the contract[00:00:35]

If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand[00:00:39]

So we broke that vow independently now[00:00:46]

But I don't know why you absolutely deny[00:00:54]

You bowed down you bowed down[00:01:00]

You bowed down[00:01:04]

You bowed down you bowed down[00:01:06]

You bowed down[00:01:09]

When you first looked away[00:01:20]

I might say it was really a kindness[00:01:22]

It must have hurt you to see how dreams sour[00:01:29]

They say that justice[00:01:36]

And love are the next things to blindness[00:01:38]

Well you're getting plenty of both of them now[00:01:44]

And so you parade[00:01:51]

Where appointments are made[00:01:54]

And never meant to be kept[00:01:58]

Unless you accept[00:02:02]

You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down[00:02:05]

You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down[00:02:10]

You value the burnt amber of falling leaves[00:02:18]

And you long to delay[00:02:22]

As you feel their breath as they whisper[00:02:27]

It won't hurt you now to betray[00:02:31]

If you just bow down[00:02:35]

And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria[00:02:44]

You're helping them sell off some new party line[00:02:52]

I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior[00:02:59]

Now you say will you please meet this good friend of mine[00:03:07]

So you're in demand[00:03:14]

As long as you kiss their hand[00:03:18]

But all the applause[00:03:22]

Is for their name not yours[00:03:26]

You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down[00:03:28]

You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down[00:03:34]

You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down[00:03:39]

You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down[00:03:45]

You bowed down[00:03:51]

You bowed down[00:03:58]

You bowed down[00:04:06]

You bowed down[00:04:14]
