《King Of Thieves》歌词

[00:00:00] King Of Thieves (Album Version) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:07] I had forgotten all about 'the case of the three pins'

[00:00:11] They said I must be cracked

[00:00:15] Until the brown paper parcel

[00:00:18] Landed on my welcome mat

[00:00:24] Even the pretty secretaries

[00:00:27] Who wouldn't even let me hang my hat

[00:00:32] All recognize my handwriting

[00:00:35] And return to sender as a matter of fact

[00:00:40] If I were you I'd change my name again

[00:00:44] They don't care what they do to you believe me

[00:00:48] This is the coronation of the king of thieves

[00:00:55] His occupation is the king of thieves

[00:00:57] He'll steal more than you can save

[00:00:59] You can take him on but you're not that brave

[00:01:10] I'll tell your fortune in a minute or two

[00:01:13] I might even tell you what comes next

[00:01:18] The moguls want a human sacrifice

[00:01:22] And look at that girl young hungry and perplexed

[00:01:27] They took away the best years of her life

[00:01:31] Ah but it's all in good fun

[00:01:35] And if you kept you nose clean

[00:01:38] You can laugh now at the caring things they've done

[00:01:44] If I were you I'd change my name again

[00:01:47] They don't care what they do to you believe me

[00:01:52] This is the coronation of the king of thieves

[00:01:58] His occupation is the king of thieves

[00:02:00] He'll steal more than you can save

[00:02:02] You can take him on but you're not that brave

[00:02:09] I'll write this story down

[00:02:11] But you'll never guess the final twist

[00:02:13] Blow the whistle on the whole design

[00:02:15] As they find my name on that fatal mailing list

[00:02:19] I hear the clatter of a typewriter

[00:02:23] Another rookie eating up the reams

[00:02:28] I think it's time to put my feet under the desk

[00:02:31] And place my mark on another man's dreams

[00:02:36] If I were you I'd change my name again

[00:02:40] They don't care what they do to you believe me

[00:02:44] This is the coronation of the king of thieves

[00:02:51] His occupation is the king of thieves

[00:02:53] He'll steal more than you can save

[00:02:55] You can take him on but you're not that brave

[00:03:10] This is the coronation of the king of thieves

[00:03:14] And look at that girl look at that girl

[00:03:15] Look at that girl look at that girl

[00:03:17] Look at that girl

[00:03:22] This is the coronation of the king of thieves

[00:03:26] And look at that girl look at that girl

[00:03:28] Look at that girl look at that girl

[00:03:29] Look at that girl

[00:03:35] This is the coronation of the king of thieves
