Veronica (维罗妮卡) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]
Written by:Grant Fitch/Mark Hennessy[00:00:00]
Is it all in that pretty little head of yours[00:00:06]
What goes on in that place in the dark[00:00:10]
Well I used to know a girl and I could have sworn[00:00:13]
That her name was Veronica[00:00:16]
Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own[00:00:19]
And a delicate look in her eye[00:00:22]
These days I'm afraid she's not even sure[00:00:26]
If her name is Veronica[00:00:28]
Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes[00:00:31]
Veronica has gone to hide[00:00:34]
And all the time she laughs at those who shout[00:00:37]
Her name and steal her clothes[00:00:42]
Veronica[00:00:44]
Veronica[00:00:47]
Did the days drag by did the favors wane[00:00:56]
Did he roam down the town all the while[00:00:59]
Will you wake from your dream with a wolf at the door[00:01:03]
Reaching out for Veronica[00:01:06]
Well it was all of sixty-five years ago[00:01:09]
When the world was the street where she lived[00:01:12]
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea[00:01:15]
With a picture of Veronica[00:01:18]
On the Empress of India[00:01:21]
And as she closed her eyes upon the world[00:01:26]
And picked upon the bones of last week's news[00:01:32]
She spoke his name out loud again[00:01:38]
Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes[00:01:43]
Veronica has gone to hide[00:01:46]
And all the time she laughs at those who shout[00:01:49]
Her name and steal her clothes[00:01:53]
Veronica[00:01:56]
Veronica[00:01:59]
Veronica sits in her favorite chair[00:02:08]
And she sits very quiet and still[00:02:11]
And they call her a name that they never get right[00:02:14]
And if they don't then nobody else will[00:02:17]
But she used to have a carefree mind of her own[00:02:20]
With devilish look in her eye[00:02:23]
Saying you can call me anything you like[00:02:26]
But my name is Veronica[00:02:30]
Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes[00:02:32]
Veronica has gone to hide[00:02:36]
And all the time she laughs at those who shout[00:02:39]
Her name and steal her clothes[00:02:43]
Veronica[00:02:46]
Veronica[00:02:49]
Oh Veronica[00:02:52]
