《Battered Old Bird》歌词

[00:00:00] Battered Old Bird - Elvis Costello & The Attractions
[00:00:04] The landlady's husband came up to town today
[00:00:13] Since he left them both ten years ago
[00:00:16] To serve the ministry
[00:00:24] The dark down road of his approach
[00:00:27] In constant rain was drenched
[00:00:31] The tenant's boy said How do you do
[00:00:34] Then swore in French
[00:00:38] Did you teach this little child these curses on my soul
[00:00:45] You should both be shut down in the coal-hole
[00:00:51] That's the way to treat a child
[00:00:54] Who cries out in the night
[00:00:57] And a woman who teaches wrong from right
[00:01:02] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:01:06] And he's living up there
[00:01:09] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:01:13] And he's living up there
[00:01:16] There's a place where time stands still
[00:01:19] If you keep taking those little pink pills
[00:01:29] Hush your mouth you hypocrite
[00:01:32] His humour cut her deep
[00:01:35] The tight lipped leer of judgement
[00:01:38] That had seen her love desert her just like sleep
[00:01:44] Filthy words on children's lips are better
[00:01:47] My dear spouse
[00:01:50] Then if I were to speak my mind about this house
[00:01:57] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:02:00] And he's living up there
[00:02:03] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:02:06] And he's living up there
[00:02:10] There's a place where time stands still
[00:02:13] If you keep taking those little pink pills
[00:02:23] On the first floor there are two old maids
[00:02:26] Each one wishing that the other was afraid
[00:02:29] And next door to them is a man so mild
[00:02:32] Untill he chopped off the head of a visitor's child
[00:02:36] He danced upon the bonfire
[00:02:38] Swallowed sleeping pills like dreams
[00:02:42] With a bottle of sweet sherry that everything redeems
[00:02:49] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:02:52] And he's living up there
[00:02:55] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:02:58] And he's living up there
[00:03:02] There's a place where time stands still
[00:03:05] If you keep taking those little pink pills
[00:03:14] And on the second floor is the Macintosh Man
[00:03:18] He's in his overcoats more than out of them
[00:03:21] And the typewriter's rattling all through the night
[00:03:24] He's burgundy for breakfast tight
[00:03:27] He says
[00:03:28] One day I'll throw away all of my cares
[00:03:34] And it is always Christmas
[00:03:36] In a cupboard at the top of the stairs
[00:03:41] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:03:45] And he's living up there
[00:03:48] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:03:51] And he's living up there
[00:03:55] There's a place where time stands still
[00:03:58] If you keep taking those little pink pills
[00:04:08] Well here's a boy if ever there was
[00:04:11] Who's going to do big things
[00:04:14] That's what they all say and
[00:04:17] That's how the trouble begins
[00:04:22] I've seen them rise and fall
[00:04:24] Been through their big deals and smalls
[00:04:28] He'd better have a dream that goes beyond four walls
[00:04:36] You think he should be sent outside
[00:04:39] Playing with the traffic
[00:04:41] When pieces of him are already scattered in the attic
[00:04:47] When pieces of him are already scattered in the attic
[00:04:53] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:04:56] And he's living up there
[00:05:00] He's a Battered Old Bird
[00:05:03] And he's living up there
[00:05:06] There's a place where time stands still
[00:05:10] If you keep taking those little pink pills
