《Little Atoms》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Atoms - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:10] I arose and marigold lay down with curious iris

[00:00:15] Cherry gave to victor her prudence and her virus

[00:00:21] For the sake of purity I can recall the time

[00:00:25] And place

[00:00:26] Between wisdom and murder she gave up her immaculate face

[00:00:35] My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games

[00:00:40] With false and lovely modesty

[00:00:43] I can recall the names i`ll miss

[00:00:48] In the particle of me that cares for this

[00:00:54] I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss

[00:01:08] Patience has her virtue still

[00:01:11] But every grace must have it's price

[00:01:14] I through some felicity may spin a tale of constant

[00:01:18] Vice

[00:01:19] I took my better nature out drowned it in the

[00:01:23] Babbling stream

[00:01:25] Took the blossom of my youth and blew it all

[00:01:28] To smithereens

[00:01:30] My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games

[00:01:35] With false and lovely modesty

[00:01:37] I can recall the names I'll miss

[00:01:43] In the particle of me that cares for this

[00:01:48] I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss

[00:02:03] And if you still don`t like my song then you

[00:02:07] Can just go to hell

[00:02:09] I don`t care if i`m right or wrong or if

[00:02:12] My typewriter can spell

[00:02:14] But I cannot promise you i`ve said goodbye to childish

[00:02:19] Things

[00:02:19] There`s still some pretty insults left and such sport in

[00:02:24] Threatening

[00:02:24] My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games

[00:02:30] With false and lovely modesty

[00:02:32] I can recall the names i`ll miss

[00:02:38] In the particle of me that cares for this

[00:02:43] I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss

[00:02:53] And for the sake of clarity

[00:02:55] They are faith hope and charity

[00:02:58] In the particle of me that cares for this

[00:03:03] I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
