Miss Macbeth - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

All the children testified[00:00:07]

That miss Macbeth[00:00:09]

Wore a fishbone slide[00:00:10]

In her cobweb tresses[00:00:12]

Her eyes were black like first foot coal[00:00:15]

Clutched as[00:00:18]

Chalk dust[00:00:19]

Her fingers sweated India ink[00:00:20]

And poison pen letters[00:00:23]

There is a hungry hanging tree[00:00:26]

Just below your bedroom[00:00:30]

Window[00:00:32]

You can hear take a broom[00:00:34]

To beat out[00:00:37]

A tattoo on the ceiling[00:00:38]

Her bloodless face ran red inside[00:00:43]

But was she[00:00:46]

Really evil was she only pantomime[00:00:46]

Now the chalk on the wall[00:01:03]

Says that somebody[00:01:06]

Saves[00:01:08]

That somebody`s face has[00:01:09]

Just been washed off the[00:01:11]

Pavement[00:01:13]

Into a puzzle where petrol will be poisoned by rain[00:01:14]

Miss Macbeth saw her reflection[00:01:20]

As confetti bled it`s colors down the drain[00:01:23]

And everyday[00:01:28]

She lives out another love song[00:01:29]

It`s a tearful lament of somebody done wrong[00:01:34]

Well can you miss[00:01:40]

What you`ve never possessed[00:01:42]

Miss Macbeth[00:01:45]

Well we all should have known[00:01:59]

When the children paraded[00:02:02]

They portrayed her in their fairy tales[00:02:05]

Sprinkling deadly nightshade[00:02:08]

And as they tormented her[00:02:10]

She rose to the bait[00:02:13]

Even a scapegoat[00:02:17]

Must have someone to hate[00:02:20]

And everyday[00:02:24]

She lives out another love song[00:02:26]

You`re up there enjoying yourself[00:02:30]

And I know it`s wrong[00:02:33]

Well how can you miss[00:02:36]

What you've never possessed[00:02:38]

Miss Macbeth[00:02:41]

Miss Macbeth[00:02:44]

Sometimes people are just[00:02:47]

What they appear to be[00:02:50]

With no redemption at all[00:02:53]

We try to walk upright[00:02:58]

When we can`t even crawl[00:03:01]

Miss Macbeth[00:03:09]

Has a gollywog[00:03:10]

She chucks under[00:03:12]

The chin[00:03:14]

And she whispers to it tenderly[00:03:15]

Then sticks[00:03:18]

It on a pin[00:03:19]

And it might[00:03:20]

Be coincidence but a boy[00:03:22]

Down[00:03:24]

The lane[00:03:24]

That she said went white as he could[00:03:26]

Do[00:03:28]

Then doubled over in pain[00:03:29]

And everyday[00:03:34]

She lives out[00:03:36]

Another love song[00:03:37]

It`s a tearful lament of somebody done wrong[00:03:40]

Well how can you miss[00:03:46]

What you`ve never possessed[00:03:48]

Miss Macbeth[00:03:51]

Miss Macbeth[00:03:54]

Miss Macbeth[00:03:57]

Miss Macbeth[00:03:59]
