This Is Hell - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

This is hell this is hell[00:00:03]

I am sorry to tell you[00:00:06]

It never gets better or worse[00:00:11]

But you get used to it after a spell[00:00:18]

For heaven is hell in reverse[00:00:24]

The bruiser spun a hula hoop[00:00:31]

As all the barmen preen and pout[00:00:34]

The neon I of nightclub flickers on and off[00:00:37]

And finally blew out[00:00:42]

The irritating jingle[00:00:45]

Of the belly dancing phoney Turkish girls[00:00:47]

The eerie glare of ultra violet[00:00:52]

Perfect dental work[00:00:55]

This is hell this is hell[00:00:59]

I am sorry to tell you[00:01:01]

It never gets better or worse[00:01:04]

But you get used to it after a spell[00:01:10]

For heaven is hell in reverse[00:01:17]

The failed don Juan in the big bow tie[00:01:24]

Is very sorry that he spoke[00:01:27]

For he's mislaid his punchline[00:01:31]

More than halfway through a very tasteless joke[00:01:33]

The Fraulein caught him peeking down her gown[00:01:38]

He's yelling in her ear[00:01:42]

And all at once the music stopped[00:01:45]

As he was intimately bellowing my dear[00:01:48]

This is hell this is hell[00:01:54]

I am sorry to tell you[00:01:57]

It never gets better or worse[00:02:01]

But you get used to it after a spell[00:02:08]

For heaven is hell in reverse[00:02:14]

The shirt you wore with courage[00:02:21]

And the violent nylon suit[00:02:24]

Reappear upon your back[00:02:28]

And undermine the polished line you try to shoot[00:02:31]

It's not the torment of the flames[00:02:36]

That finally see your flesh corrupted[00:02:39]

It's the small humiliations that your memory piles up[00:02:42]

This is hell this is hell this is hell[00:02:49]

My favourite things are playing[00:03:02]

Again and again[00:03:05]

But it's by Julie Andrews[00:03:09]

And not by John Coltrane[00:03:12]

Endless balmy breezes and perfect sunsets framed[00:03:16]

Vintage wine for breakfast[00:03:23]

And naked starlets floating in champagne[00:03:26]

All the passions of your youth[00:03:31]

Are tranquillised and tamed[00:03:35]

You may think it looks familiar[00:03:38]

Though you may know it by another name[00:03:42]

This is hell this is hell[00:03:47]

I am sorry to tell you[00:03:50]

It never gets better or worse[00:03:53]

But you get used to it after a spell[00:04:01]

For heaven is hell in reverse[00:04:07]

This is hell this is hell[00:04:11]
