《Pony St》歌词

[00:00:00] Pony St - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:09] She lives on Pony Street

[00:00:12] And they should scatter flowers at her feet

[00:00:15] But when they come calling I think it's appalling

[00:00:19] They're sober and they're polite

[00:00:22] They're deeply respectful when I would expect them

[00:00:25] To keep her out all night

[00:00:30] That little martinet

[00:00:33] Will get her own way yet

[00:00:36] If you need instruction in mindless destruction

[00:00:39] I'll show you a thing or two

[00:00:42] You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me

[00:00:46] For you to view

[00:00:51] Oh mother oh mother sometimes you are so mortifying

[00:00:56] From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying

[00:01:01] But your generation confesses before it transgresses

[00:01:07] Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses

[00:01:13] If you're going out tonight

[00:01:16] I won't wait up

[00:01:20] Reading "Das Kapital"

[00:01:23] Watching "Home Shopping Club"

[00:01:25] While you're flogging a dead horse

[00:01:28] All the way down Pony Street

[00:01:31] Where you live after a fashion

[00:01:34] All the way down Pony Street

[00:01:38] The life and the soul of every indiscretion

[00:01:42] That lives on that lives on that lives on

[00:01:46] Pony Street

[00:01:49] Daughter oh daughter you know I will love you forever

[00:01:54] But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather

[00:01:59] For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me

[00:02:04] For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history

[00:02:10] If you're going out tonight

[00:02:13] How can you be sure

[00:02:17] Where you lay your pretty head

[00:02:20] Mother may have been before

[00:02:22] So you're flogging a dead horse

[00:02:25] All the way down Pony Street

[00:02:28] Where you live after a fashion

[00:02:31] All the way down Pony Street

[00:02:34] The life and the soul of every indiscretion

[00:02:38] That lives on That lives on That lives on

[00:02:43] That lives on That lives on

[00:02:47] She lives on Pony Street She lives on Pony Street

[00:02:53] She lives on she lives on She lives on she lives on
