《The Other Side Of Summer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Other Side Of Summer - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:03] The sun struggles up another beautiful day

[00:00:07] And I felt glad in my own suspicious way

[00:00:11] Yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:00:15] Despite the contradiction and confusion

[00:00:18] Felt tragic without reason

[00:00:19] There's malice and there's magic in every season

[00:00:23] From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf

[00:00:26] The other side of summer

[00:00:30] To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf

[00:00:34] The other side of summer

[00:00:41] The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palace

[00:00:45] The blowtorch amusements the voodoo chalice

[00:00:49] The pale pathetic promises that everybody swallows

[00:00:53] The teenage girl is crying 'cos she don't look like a million dollars

[00:00:57] So help her if you can

[00:01:00] 'Cos she don't seem to have the attention span

[00:01:03] From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf

[00:01:06] The other side of summer

[00:01:10] To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf

[00:01:14] The other side of summer

[00:01:21] Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions"

[00:01:26] A poor little schoolboy who said "We don't need no lessons"

[00:01:29] The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shop

[00:01:33] The pop princess is downtown shooting up

[00:01:36] And if that goddess is fit for burning

[00:01:39] The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning

[00:01:47] Madman standing by the side of the road saying

[00:01:51] "Look at my eyes look at my eyes look at my eyes look at my eyes"

[00:01:55] Yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:01:59] Now you can't afford to fake

[00:02:00] All the drugs your parents used to take

[00:02:03] Because of their mistakes you'd better be wide awake

[00:02:06] From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf

[00:02:09] The other side of summer

[00:02:13] To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf

[00:02:17] The other side of summer

[00:02:21] The mightiest rose the absence of perfume

[00:02:25] The casual killers the military curfew

[00:02:29] The cardboard city and the unwanted birthday

[00:02:32] The other side of summer

[00:02:36] The dancing was desperate the music was worse

[00:02:40] They bury your dreams and dig up the worthless

[00:02:44] Goodnight God bless and kiss "Goodbye" to the earth

[00:02:48] The other side of summer the other side of summer

[00:02:55] The other side of summer the other side of summer

[00:03:03] The other side of summer the other side of summer

[00:03:10] The other side other side other side other
