[00:00:00] Veronica (维罗妮卡) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:00] Written by：Grant Fitch/Mark Hennessy

[00:00:06] Is it all in that pretty little head of yours

[00:00:10] What goes on in that place in the dark

[00:00:13] Well I used to know a girl and I could have sworn

[00:00:16] That her name was Veronica

[00:00:19] Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own

[00:00:22] And a delicate look in her eye

[00:00:26] These days I'm afraid she's not even sure

[00:00:28] If her name is Veronica

[00:00:31] Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes

[00:00:34] Veronica has gone to hide

[00:00:37] And all the time she laughs at those who shout

[00:00:42] Her name and steal her clothes

[00:00:44] Veronica

[00:00:47] Veronica

[00:00:56] Did the days drag by did the favors wane

[00:00:59] Did he roam down the town all the while

[00:01:03] Will you wake from your dream with a wolf at the door

[00:01:06] Reaching out for Veronica

[00:01:09] Well it was all of sixty-five years ago

[00:01:12] When the world was the street where she lived

[00:01:15] And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea

[00:01:18] With a picture of Veronica

[00:01:21] On the Empress of India

[00:01:26] And as she closed her eyes upon the world

[00:01:32] And picked upon the bones of last week's news

[00:01:38] She spoke his name out loud again

[00:01:43] Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes

[00:01:46] Veronica has gone to hide

[00:01:49] And all the time she laughs at those who shout

[00:01:53] Her name and steal her clothes

[00:01:56] Veronica

[00:01:59] Veronica

[00:02:08] Veronica sits in her favorite chair

[00:02:11] And she sits very quiet and still

[00:02:14] And they call her a name that they never get right

[00:02:17] And if they don't then nobody else will

[00:02:20] But she used to have a carefree mind of her own

[00:02:23] With devilish look in her eye

[00:02:26] Saying you can call me anything you like

[00:02:30] But my name is Veronica

[00:02:32] Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes

[00:02:36] Veronica has gone to hide

[00:02:39] And all the time she laughs at those who shout

[00:02:43] Her name and steal her clothes

[00:02:46] Veronica

[00:02:49] Veronica

[00:02:52] Oh Veronica
