《You Bowed Down》歌词

[00:00:00] You Bowed Down - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:16] I expect you're entitled to know why I'm

[00:00:20] Making contact

[00:00:24] With acquaintances scattered all over the land

[00:00:31] I'd promise you now and again that I'd

[00:00:35] Honour the contract

[00:00:39] If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand

[00:00:46] So we broke that vow independently now

[00:00:54] But I don't know why you absolutely deny

[00:01:00] You bowed down you bowed down

[00:01:04] You bowed down

[00:01:06] You bowed down you bowed down

[00:01:09] You bowed down

[00:01:20] When you first looked away

[00:01:22] I might say it was really a kindness

[00:01:29] It must have hurt you to see how dreams sour

[00:01:36] They say that justice

[00:01:38] And love are the next things to blindness

[00:01:44] Well you're getting plenty of both of them now

[00:01:51] And so you parade

[00:01:54] Where appointments are made

[00:01:58] And never meant to be kept

[00:02:02] Unless you accept

[00:02:05] You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down

[00:02:10] You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down

[00:02:18] You value the burnt amber of falling leaves

[00:02:22] And you long to delay

[00:02:27] As you feel their breath as they whisper

[00:02:31] It won't hurt you now to betray

[00:02:35] If you just bow down

[00:02:44] And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria

[00:02:52] You're helping them sell off some new party line

[00:02:59] I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior

[00:03:07] Now you say will you please meet this good friend of mine

[00:03:14] So you're in demand

[00:03:18] As long as you kiss their hand

[00:03:22] But all the applause

[00:03:26] Is for their name not yours

[00:03:28] You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down

[00:03:34] You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down

[00:03:39] You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down

[00:03:45] You bowed down you bowed down you bowed down

[00:03:51] You bowed down

[00:03:58] You bowed down

[00:04:06] You bowed down

[00:04:14] You bowed down
