《Joe Porterhouse》歌词

[00:00:01] Joe Porterhouse - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:04] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:08] The children sit upon the stairs

[00:00:13] High above a valley of tears

[00:00:18] Don't let them see you crying that way oh no

[00:00:27] Oh no Joe Porterhouse

[00:00:32] Is not gone forever

[00:00:33] He'll be back another day

[00:00:37] Don't let them see you crying that way

[00:00:44] Please don't wake him let him sleep

[00:00:46] It' s a moment she can keep

[00:00:48] Like an old bus ticket or a photograph photograph

[00:00:53] Resting on the mantelpiece

[00:00:55] While for the wicked there is no peace

[00:00:57] She says it's not his time to go

[00:00:59] Why we were nearly lovers years ago years ago

[00:01:07] Now what is left for me

[00:01:11] Among the broken branches of the family tree

[00:01:25] Heart like an anchor

[00:01:27] Arms like cable

[00:01:29] He stood all alone on an iron turntable

[00:01:35] Don't let them see you crying that way oh no

[00:01:43] The sun beats down

[00:01:46] It's cracking the flags

[00:01:48] Boys who should know better

[00:01:50] Are stamping out fags

[00:01:54] Don't let them see you laughing that way

[00:02:00] Please don't wake him let him sleep

[00:02:02] It' s a moment she can keep

[00:02:04] Like an old bus ticket or a photograph photograph

[00:02:09] Resting on the mantel piece

[00:02:11] While for the wicked there is no peace

[00:02:14] She says it's not his time to go

[00:02:16] Why we were nearly lovers years ago years ago

[00:02:23] Now what is left for me

[00:02:27] Among the broken branches of the family tree

[00:02:41] Oh no Joe porter house

[00:02:46] Is not gone forever

[00:02:48] He'll be back another day

[00:02:51] Don't let them see you crying that way
