Sleep Of The Just - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

Written by：Declan MacManus[00:00:00]

Soldier asked my name into the I come here very often[00:00:10]

And further she was asking me to dance[00:00:17]

In my holy coat and hat[00:00:23]

And him in his red bonnet[00:00:26]

We'd have made a lovely couple but[00:00:30]

We never had the chance[00:00:33]

Now you say that you've gotta go[00:00:38]

Well if you must you must[00:00:45]

I suppose that you need the sleep of the just[00:00:52]

Well it was a powerful day[00:01:04]

And there were black crows in the road[00:01:07]

And I kept my strong opinions to my chest[00:01:11]

I suppose I should have told them that[00:01:17]

I was on fire for you[00:01:21]

When the bus burst into flames outside some place[00:01:24]

The Poet's Rest'[00:01:28]

Now you say you've gotta go[00:01:33]

Well if you must you must[00:01:40]

I suppose that you need the sleep of the just[00:01:47]

A girl woke up in a naked light[00:01:59]

And said Oh no not again[00:02:02]

He even looked like her brother in the army but[00:02:05]

She never mentions him[00:02:09]

He'll be tucked up in his bed tonight[00:02:12]

With his dirty pictures girl[00:02:15]

Saying 'You're some mother's daughter[00:02:19]

You know or is it[00:02:22]

Immaterial girl[00:02:23]

Now she's pinned up upon[00:02:29]

The barracks wall in her home town[00:02:31]

All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions[00:02:36]

And as they speculate what[00:02:43]

She'd look like beneath that thin nightgown[00:02:45]

His family pride was rising up as[00:02:50]

He cast his eyes down[00:02:53]

Now you say that you've gotta go[00:02:58]

If you must you must[00:03:05]

I suppose that you need the sleep of the just[00:03:12]
