《Worthless Thing》歌词

[00:00:01] Worthless Thing - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:06] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:08] How many times can you jump out of the cupboard

[00:00:12] Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered

[00:00:16] You can live forever in a split second of fame

[00:00:20] Come on down the price is right what's your name

[00:00:24] While a crocodile makes good shoes and

[00:00:26] A dog may change his coat

[00:00:28] I can't change what's written on your face tonight and I quote

[00:00:34] Oh I wish you could see

[00:00:37] Quite how much you could mean to me

[00:00:41] You worthless thing

[00:00:43] If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome

[00:00:47] I might pay this king's ransom

[00:00:51] You worthless thing

[00:00:56] They commit blue murder along union avenue

[00:01:00] Then they sell you souvenir matches

[00:01:04] Night clubs full of grave robbers from memphis Tennessee

[00:01:08] And Las Vegas body snatchers

[00:01:12] And he's carrying a warning can't you see how his eyes glint

[00:01:16] Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate fingerprint

[00:01:22] Oh I wish you could see

[00:01:25] Quite how much you could mean to me

[00:01:28] You worthless thing

[00:01:30] If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome

[00:01:35] I might pay this king's ransom

[00:01:39] You worthless thing

[00:01:43] All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to tatters

[00:01:47] Do you know how tall he was ''cause

[00:01:49] That is all that really matters

[00:01:51] Do you know his mother's last name do

[00:01:53] You think that he's divine

[00:01:55] You've seen the film you've read the book

[00:01:57] You're drinking vintage elvis presley wine

[00:02:02] Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large

[00:02:05] They'll cut her down to size on television

[00:02:09] She's available and beautiful but with more time to devote

[00:02:14] They're going to take this cable now and

[00:02:16] Stick it down your throat

[00:02:18] So this is an obituary which should be right and fitting

[00:02:21] For every clockwork cat and conceivable kitten

[00:02:28] Oh I wish you could see

[00:02:30] Quite how much you could mean to me

[00:02:35] You worthless thing

[00:02:36] If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome

[00:02:41] I might pay this king's ransom

[00:02:45] You worthless thing

[00:02:48] Oh you worthless thing

[00:02:52] Oh you worthless thing
