《Miss Macbeth》歌词

[00:00:00] Miss Macbeth - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:07] All the children testified

[00:00:09] That miss Macbeth

[00:00:10] Wore a fishbone slide

[00:00:12] In her cobweb tresses

[00:00:15] Her eyes were black like first foot coal

[00:00:18] Clutched as

[00:00:19] Chalk dust

[00:00:20] Her fingers sweated India ink

[00:00:23] And poison pen letters

[00:00:26] There is a hungry hanging tree

[00:00:30] Just below your bedroom

[00:00:32] Window

[00:00:34] You can hear take a broom

[00:00:37] To beat out

[00:00:38] A tattoo on the ceiling

[00:00:43] Her bloodless face ran red inside

[00:00:46] But was she

[00:00:46] Really evil was she only pantomime

[00:01:03] Now the chalk on the wall

[00:01:06] Says that somebody

[00:01:08] Saves

[00:01:09] That somebody`s face has

[00:01:11] Just been washed off the

[00:01:13] Pavement

[00:01:14] Into a puzzle where petrol will be poisoned by rain

[00:01:20] Miss Macbeth saw her reflection

[00:01:23] As confetti bled it`s colors down the drain

[00:01:28] And everyday

[00:01:29] She lives out another love song

[00:01:34] It`s a tearful lament of somebody done wrong

[00:01:40] Well can you miss

[00:01:42] What you`ve never possessed

[00:01:45] Miss Macbeth

[00:01:59] Well we all should have known

[00:02:02] When the children paraded

[00:02:05] They portrayed her in their fairy tales

[00:02:08] Sprinkling deadly nightshade

[00:02:10] And as they tormented her

[00:02:13] She rose to the bait

[00:02:17] Even a scapegoat

[00:02:20] Must have someone to hate

[00:02:24] And everyday

[00:02:26] She lives out another love song

[00:02:30] You`re up there enjoying yourself

[00:02:33] And I know it`s wrong

[00:02:36] Well how can you miss

[00:02:38] What you've never possessed

[00:02:41] Miss Macbeth

[00:02:44] Miss Macbeth

[00:02:47] Sometimes people are just

[00:02:50] What they appear to be

[00:02:53] With no redemption at all

[00:02:58] We try to walk upright

[00:03:01] When we can`t even crawl

[00:03:09] Miss Macbeth

[00:03:10] Has a gollywog

[00:03:12] She chucks under

[00:03:14] The chin

[00:03:15] And she whispers to it tenderly

[00:03:18] Then sticks

[00:03:19] It on a pin

[00:03:20] And it might

[00:03:22] Be coincidence but a boy

[00:03:24] Down

[00:03:24] The lane

[00:03:26] That she said went white as he could

[00:03:28] Do

[00:03:29] Then doubled over in pain

[00:03:34] And everyday

[00:03:36] She lives out

[00:03:37] Another love song

[00:03:40] It`s a tearful lament of somebody done wrong

[00:03:46] Well how can you miss

[00:03:48] What you`ve never possessed

[00:03:51] Miss Macbeth

[00:03:54] Miss Macbeth

[00:03:57] Miss Macbeth

[00:03:59] Miss Macbeth
