Edith And The Kingpin - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

The big man arrives[00:00:23]

Disco dancers greet him[00:00:31]

Plainclothes cops greet him[00:00:36]

Big man small town fresh lipstick glistening[00:00:41]

Sophomore jive[00:00:54]

From victims of typewriters[00:01:00]

The band sounds like typewriters[00:01:05]

The big man he's not listening[00:01:10]

His eyes hold edith[00:01:24]

His left hand holds his right[00:01:28]

What does that hand desire[00:01:35]

That he grips it so tight[00:01:43]

Edith in the ring[00:01:55]

The passed-over girls are conferring[00:02:00]

The man with the diamond ring is purring[00:02:07]

All claws for now withdrawn[00:02:15]

One by one they bring[00:02:26]

His renegade stories to her[00:02:31]

His crimes and his glories to her[00:02:38]

In challenge they look on[00:02:45]

Women he has wanted grow old too soon[00:02:57]

He tilts their tired faces[00:03:08]

Gently to the spoon[00:03:17]

Edith in his bed[00:03:28]

A plane in the rain is humming[00:03:35]

The wires in the walls are humming[00:03:42]

Some song some mysterious song[00:03:48]

Bars in her head[00:03:58]

Beating frantic and snowblind[00:04:02]

Romantic and snowblind[00:04:07]

She says his crime belongs[00:04:10]

Edith and the kingpin[00:04:23]

Each with charm to sway[00:04:28]

Are staring eye to eye[00:04:34]

They dare not look away[00:04:42]

You know they dare not look away[00:04:51]
