Suit Of Lights - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

Written by：Declan MacManus[00:00:00]

While Nat King Cole sings welcome to my world[00:00:01]

You request some song you hate you sentimental fool[00:00:05]

And it's the force of habit[00:00:09]

If it moves then you f**k it[00:00:13]

If it doesn't move you stab it[00:00:15]

And I thought I heard the working man's blues[00:00:17]

He went out to work that night and wasted his breath[00:00:21]

Outside there was a public execution[00:00:26]

Inside he died a thousand deaths[00:00:30]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:00:34]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:00:37]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:00:42]

And they put him in a suit of lights[00:00:47]

In the perforated first editions[00:00:57]

Where they advocate the hangman's noose[00:01:01]

Then tell the sorry tale of the spent Princess[00:01:06]

Her uncouth escort looking down her dress[00:01:10]

Anyway they say that she wears the trousers[00:01:14]

And learnt everything that she does[00:01:18]

And doesn't know if she should tell him yes[00:01:22]

Or let him go[00:01:27]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:01:32]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:01:36]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:01:40]

And they put him in a suit of lights[00:01:45]

Well it's a dog's life in a rope leash or a diamond collar[00:01:48]

It's enough to make you think right now[00:01:57]

But you don't bother[00:02:01]

For goodness sake as you cry and shake[00:02:05]

Let's keep you face down in the dirt where you belong[00:02:09]

And think of all the pleasure that it brings[00:02:15]

Though you know that it's wrong[00:02:21]

And there's still life in your body[00:02:26]

But most of it's leaving[00:02:29]

Can't you give us all a break[00:02:35]

Can't you stop breathing[00:02:38]

And I thought I heard the working man's blues[00:02:42]

I went to work that night and wasted my breath[00:02:47]

Outside they're painting tar on somebody[00:02:51]

It's the closest to a work of art that they will ever be[00:02:55]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:03:03]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:03:07]

And they pulled him out of the cold cold ground[00:03:11]

And they put him in a suit of lights[00:03:16]

And they put him in a suit of lights[00:03:21]

And they put him in a suit of lights[00:03:25]
