Jimmie Standing In The Rain - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:01]

Third class ticket in his pocket[00:00:05]

Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets[00:00:08]

Tweed coat turned up against the fog[00:00:11]

Slow coaches rolling o'er the moor[00:00:15]

Between the very memory[00:00:17]

And approaches of war[00:00:19]

Stale bread curling on a luncheon counter[00:00:23]

Loose change lonely not the right amount[00:00:27]

Forgotten man of an indifferent nation[00:00:31]

Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station[00:00:36]

Somebody's calling you again[00:00:41]

The sky is falling[00:00:44]

Jimmie's standing in the rain[00:00:45]

Nobody wants to buy a counterfeited prairie lullaby in a colliery town[00:00:50]

A hip flask and fumbled skein with[00:00:59]

Some stagedoor Josephine is all he'll get now[00:01:03]

Eyes going in and out of focus[00:01:09]

Mild and bitter from tuberculosis[00:01:12]

Forgotten man[00:01:16]

Indifferent nation[00:01:18]

Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station[00:01:20]

Somebody's calling you again[00:01:26]

The sky is falling[00:01:28]

Jimmie's standing in the rain[00:01:30]

Her soft breath was gentle on his neck[00:01:40]

If he could choose the time to die[00:01:45]

Then he would come and go like this[00:01:50]

Underneath a painted sky[00:01:55]

She woke up and called him Charlie by mistake[00:01:59]

And then in shame began to cry[00:02:05]

Tarnished silver band peals off a phrase[00:02:10]

And then warms their hands around the brazier[00:02:15]

Forgotten man[00:02:20]

Indifferent nation[00:02:21]

Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station[00:02:24]

Somebody's calling you again[00:02:29]

It's finally dawning[00:02:32]

Jimmie's standing in the rain[00:02:34]

Brilliantine glistening[00:02:45]

Your soft plaintive whistling[00:02:48]

And your wan wandering smile[00:02:52]

Died down at the hippodrome[00:02:58]

Now you're walking off to jeers[00:03:02]

The lonely sound of jingling spurs[00:03:04]

The toodleoos and oh my dears[00:03:08]

Down at the Argyle[00:03:12]

Vile vaudevillians applaud sobriety[00:03:17]

There's no place for a half cut cowboy in polite society[00:03:21]

Forgotten man[00:03:27]

Indifferent nation[00:03:29]

Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station[00:03:31]

Somebody's calling you again[00:03:36]

It's finally dawning[00:03:39]

Jimmie's standing in the rain[00:03:41]

Somebody's calling you again[00:03:46]

It's finally dawning[00:03:49]

Jimmie's standing in the rain[00:03:51]
