《The Sharpest Thorn》歌词

[00:00:03] The Sharpest Thorn - Elvis Costello

[00:00:05] I wore my finest suit of clothes

[00:00:10] The sharpest thorn defending the rose

[00:00:15] Hot as a pistol

[00:00:17] Keen as a blade

[00:00:19] The sharpest thorn upon parade

[00:00:24] And it's the same most every year

[00:00:29] Ghosts of the dear departed are near

[00:00:34] We raise our glasses and we cheer

[00:00:39] Should old acquaintance disappear

[00:00:44] Just as we wipe away a tear

[00:00:48] Archangel Michael will lead the way

[00:00:53] Archangel Gabriel is ready to play

[00:00:58] Although we know we must repent

[00:01:03] We hit the scene and look for sins

[00:01:07] That haven't even been invented

[00:01:12] The strongest cage that guards the prize

[00:01:17] The longest lash that covers your eyes

[00:01:22] A sight no eyes are meant to know

[00:01:26] Then on the third day he arose

[00:01:31] Archangel Michael will lead the way

[00:01:36] Archangel Gabriel is ready to play

[00:01:41] Although we know we must repent

[00:01:46] We hit the scene and look for sins

[00:01:50] That haven't even been invented

[00:01:55] So Good and Evil were having a fight

[00:02:00] It lasts much longer than any one night

[00:02:05] It may last longer than a life

[00:02:09] And turn a mistress into a wife

[00:02:14] And so confetti fills the air

[00:02:19] My head is aching

[00:02:21] My pockets are bare

[00:02:23] I didn't recognise their warning

[00:02:27] Then I wasn't born the sharpest thorn

[00:02:33] I wasn't born the sharpest thorn

[00:03:16] I wasn't born the sharpest thorn

[00:03:20] I wasn't born the sharpest thorn

[00:03:52] I wasn't born the sharpest thorn
