《Nothing Clings Like Ivy》歌词

[00:00:00] Nothing Clings Like Ivy - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:01] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:05] Nothing clings like Ivy

[00:00:12] Frightened by the dark

[00:00:16] Though she cuts deep

[00:00:20] It never leaves a mark

[00:00:28] No one quite like Ivy

[00:00:34] Ever gets it straight

[00:00:39] What she believes

[00:00:43] She won't negotiate

[00:00:51] All the words of tenderness

[00:01:00] That never quite got through

[00:01:07] She said you know how young girls are

[00:01:17] From my contempt for you

[00:01:25] Outside in the hollow

[00:01:32] She may dare herself

[00:01:37] For there may be

[00:01:40] A serpent in the grass

[00:01:48] Nothing clings like Ivy

[00:01:55] Trying to scare herself

[00:02:00] And it may strike or

[00:02:04] Wait for her to pass

[00:02:11] All the words of tenderness

[00:02:20] That she never possessed

[00:02:28] So what's the use of promises

[00:02:38] I had my fingers crossed

[00:03:08] All the words of tenderness

[00:03:17] That never quite got through

[00:03:25] She said I laughed behind your back

[00:03:34] When I told them to you

[00:03:42] Nothing clings like Ivy

[00:03:49] Frightened by the dark

[00:03:53] Though she cuts deep

[00:03:57] It never leaves a mark
