[00:00:00] Episode Of Blonde (Album Version) - Elvis Costello

[00:00:02] Written By：Elvis Coste

[00:00:08] I spy for the Spirit of Curiousity

[00:00:12] All the scandals of each vain monstrosity

[00:00:16] I gossip and I pry and I insinuate

[00:00:19] If the failure is great

[00:00:21] Then it tends to fascinate

[00:00:23] A tornado dropped a funnel cloud with twenty tons of rain

[00:00:27] Though she had the attention span of warm cellophane

[00:00:31] Her lovers fell like skittles in a 10-pin bowling lane

[00:00:35] But nothing could compare with that explosion of fame

[00:00:39] So you jumped back with alarm

[00:00:42] Every Elvis has his army

[00:00:44] Every rattlesnake its charm

[00:00:46] Can you still hear me

[00:00:48] Am I coming through just fine

[00:00:50] Your memory was buried in a simple box of pine

[00:00:53] Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak

[00:01:01] Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek

[00:01:08] It's such a shame you had to break the heart

[00:01:13] You could have counted on but the last thing you need is another

[00:01:23] Episode of blonde

[00:01:25] Revolving like a jeweller's figure on a music box

[00:01:28] Spangled curtain parted and a night-club scene unlocks

[00:01:32] Pinned and fixed and fastened in a follow spot

[00:01:35] Arms thrown out to everyone she's giving all she's got

[00:01:40] To the last gasp of a wounded bandeon

[00:01:43] Tiny man imploring to the cieling fan

[00:01:46] This stolen feeling

[00:01:47] Amplified up through a busted speaker

[00:01:50] Blaring blasting advertising distorted beyond reason

[00:01:55] Into the street where petty crime-coats shadow panic drunkards

[00:01:59] Half out of the taxi cab the barker seized my elbow

[00:02:02] He thought I was another lonely likely pilgrim looking for St Telmo

[00:02:09] Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak

[00:02:17] Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek

[00:02:24] It's such a shame you had to break the heart

[00:02:29] You could have counted on but the last thing you need is another

[00:02:39] Episode of blonde

[00:02:41] I tried to keep a straight face but you know it never pays

[00:02:44] He would stare into those eyes and then vacation in her gaze

[00:02:48] She was a cute little ruin that he pulled out of the rubble

[00:02:52] Noe they are both living in a soft soap bubble

[00:02:56] The film producer's contemplating entertaining suicide

[00:03:00] The picture crumpled in his fist his run away child bride

[00:03:03] The timepiece stretched across a wrist

[00:03:05] She couldn't care less cast aside

[00:03:07] The scent that so repelled him that he swore insecticide

[00:03:11] And there's a farewell note to mother

[00:03:14] That will conclude Your loving Son

[00:03:18] Oh tell your other children not to do as I have done

[00:03:26] Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak

[00:03:33] Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek

[00:03:41] It's such a shame

[00:03:44] It's such a shame

[00:03:46] Shame

[00:03:47] Shame

[00:03:49] A shame you had to break the heart

[00:03:52] You could have counted on

[00:03:56] But the last thing you need

[00:04:00] The last thing you want is another

[00:04:06] Episode of blonde

[00:04:12] Is another

[00:04:14] Episode of blonde

[00:04:20] Is another

[00:04:21] Episode of blonde

[00:04:23] So an artist drags a toothbrush across the first thing that he sees

[00:04:27] And names the painting Christ's Last Exit into Purgatory

[00:04:31] Receiving secret messages from an alien intelligence

[00:04:35] Paying off his stalker it's a legitimate expense

[00:04:39] So paste up pictures of those shrill and hollow girls

[00:04:41] With puckered lips

[00:04:42] She's a trophy on your arm

[00:04:44] A magnet for your money clip

[00:04:46] The moral of this story is the sorry tale to say
