Poisoned Rose - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]
Written by:Declan MacManus[00:00:00]
The poisoned rose[00:00:00]
That you gave to me[00:00:08]
It left me half alive[00:00:15]
Half in ecstasy[00:00:20]
But if half of your love[00:00:33]
Is all[00:00:39]
I can win[00:00:41]
Give me just a fraction[00:00:45]
But no more medicine[00:00:47]
The poisoned rose[00:00:56]
On a Valentine card[00:01:03]
That you take straight to the heart[00:01:10]
You call my junkyard[00:01:15]
But if all I can do[00:01:28]
Is save pieces of you[00:01:33]
The piece of your mind[00:01:38]
The piece of your heart[00:01:41]
Didn't tear me apart[00:01:47]
Like the poisoned rose[00:01:50]
I received from you[00:01:53]
I don't know[00:02:04]
How we came to grow[00:02:06]
Into this very sad affair[00:02:10]
Every time we do the decent thing[00:02:17]
Somebody spikes the drink[00:02:22]
And siggle become the page[00:02:26]
The poisoned rose[00:02:37]
That you wear at your best[00:02:44]
That I keep pressed between the white sheets[00:02:51]
Where you lie half undressed[00:02:56]
I threw away my shirt and shoes[00:03:07]
You looked and I dived in[00:03:09]
It's just you and me now[00:03:14]
'Cause I threw away the gin[00:03:17]
I threw away your alibis[00:03:20]
All your worn out clothes[00:03:23]
I threw myself upon the floor[00:03:28]
I couldn't throw away[00:03:30]
This poisoned rose[00:03:34]
This poisoned rose[00:03:41]
This poisoned rose[00:03:48]
