《The World And His Wife》歌词

[00:00:00] The World And His Wife (Album Version) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:09] The family circle gathers 'round from very far and near

[00:00:12] To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year

[00:00:16] The little girl you dangled on your knee without mishap

[00:00:19] Stirs something in your memory and something in your lap

[00:00:23] But it's a living it's a living

[00:00:25] This is the life this is the life

[00:00:26] For the world and his wife

[00:00:30] The world and his wife

[00:00:41] The kissing cousins slip outside to cuddle and confess

[00:00:45] She says sweet nothing at all it's much more of a mess

[00:00:49] The conversation melts like chocolate down their open jaws

[00:00:52] As the juniper berry slips down just like last night's drawers

[00:00:55] It's a living it's a living

[00:00:57] This is the life this is the life

[00:00:59] For the world and his wife

[00:01:03] The world and his wife

[00:01:07] To tell the truth our mum ran off with someone else's father

[00:01:10] Went for two weeks' holiday in taramasalata

[00:01:14] Daddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walking

[00:01:18] Between mum and the walls god only knows who does the talking

[00:01:23] But it's a living it's a living

[00:01:25] This is the life this is the life

[00:01:26] For the world and his wife

[00:01:30] The world and his wife

[00:01:43] But later on in the evening through the tears and fol de rol

[00:01:46] Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol

[00:01:50] Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas

[00:01:54] With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in different keys

[00:01:57] But it's a living it's a living

[00:01:59] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:00] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:02] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:04] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:06] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:08] For the world and his wife

[00:02:11] For the world and his wife

[00:02:15] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:17] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:18] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:20] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:22] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:23] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:26] For the world and his wife

[00:02:29] For the world and his wife

[00:02:33] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:34] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:36] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:38] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:40] But it's a living it's a living

[00:02:42] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:43] For the world and his wife

[00:02:47] For the world and his wife

[00:02:51] It's a living it's a living

[00:02:52] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:54] It's a living it's a living

[00:02:56] This is the life this is the life

[00:02:58] It's a living it's a living

[00:02:59] This is the life this is the life

[00:03:01] For the world and his wife

[00:03:05] For the world and his wife

[00:03:09] It's a living

[00:03:11] This is the life

[00:03:13] It's a living

[00:03:14] This is the life
