《Jimmie Standing In The Rain》歌词

[00:00:00] Jimmie Standing In The Rain - Elvis Costello

[00:00:01] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:05] Third class ticket in his pocket

[00:00:08] Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets

[00:00:11] Tweed coat turned up against the fog

[00:00:15] Slow coaches rolling o'er the moor

[00:00:17] Between the very memory

[00:00:19] And approaches of war

[00:00:23] Stale bread curling on a luncheon counter

[00:00:27] Loose change lonely not the right amount

[00:00:31] Forgotten man of an indifferent nation

[00:00:36] Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station

[00:00:41] Somebody's calling you again

[00:00:44] The sky is falling

[00:00:45] Jimmie's standing in the rain

[00:00:50] Nobody wants to buy a counterfeited prairie lullaby in a colliery town

[00:00:59] A hip flask and fumbled skein with

[00:01:03] Some stagedoor Josephine is all he'll get now

[00:01:09] Eyes going in and out of focus

[00:01:12] Mild and bitter from tuberculosis

[00:01:16] Forgotten man

[00:01:18] Indifferent nation

[00:01:20] Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station

[00:01:26] Somebody's calling you again

[00:01:28] The sky is falling

[00:01:30] Jimmie's standing in the rain

[00:01:40] Her soft breath was gentle on his neck

[00:01:45] If he could choose the time to die

[00:01:50] Then he would come and go like this

[00:01:55] Underneath a painted sky

[00:01:59] She woke up and called him Charlie by mistake

[00:02:05] And then in shame began to cry

[00:02:10] Tarnished silver band peals off a phrase

[00:02:15] And then warms their hands around the brazier

[00:02:20] Forgotten man

[00:02:21] Indifferent nation

[00:02:24] Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station

[00:02:29] Somebody's calling you again

[00:02:32] It's finally dawning

[00:02:34] Jimmie's standing in the rain

[00:02:45] Brilliantine glistening

[00:02:48] Your soft plaintive whistling

[00:02:52] And your wan wandering smile

[00:02:58] Died down at the hippodrome

[00:03:02] Now you're walking off to jeers

[00:03:04] The lonely sound of jingling spurs

[00:03:08] The toodleoos and oh my dears

[00:03:12] Down at the Argyle

[00:03:17] Vile vaudevillians applaud sobriety

[00:03:21] There's no place for a half cut cowboy in polite society

[00:03:27] Forgotten man

[00:03:29] Indifferent nation

[00:03:31] Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station

[00:03:36] Somebody's calling you again

[00:03:39] It's finally dawning

[00:03:41] Jimmie's standing in the rain

[00:03:46] Somebody's calling you again

[00:03:49] It's finally dawning

[00:03:51] Jimmie's standing in the rain
