《The Little Maiden of the Sea》歌词

[00:00:00] The Little Maiden of the Sea - Stephin Merritt

[00:00:29] The little maiden of the sea

[00:00:36] Was not at all like you and me

[00:00:42] Where we have legs she was a fish

[00:00:49] And she could only say:

[00:00:52] "I wish

[00:00:52] I wish I were not incomplete

[00:00:59] I wish I had some dainty feet "

[00:01:05] You see one day she'd met a prince

[00:01:11] And she'd been pining ever since

[00:01:15] (the little maiden of the sea)

[00:01:46] She'd gain her own immortal soul

[00:01:53] If she became the prince's wife

[00:01:59] She autovivisected

[00:02:02] Whole she walked each step was like a knife

[00:02:08] A knife into her dainty feet

[00:02:15] And she could neither speak nor sing

[00:02:21] But surely now she was complete

[00:02:27] Her prince would think of marrying

[00:02:30] The little maiden of the sea

[00:03:02] He married someone else of course

[00:03:08] And saying nothing she went home

[00:03:14] Then something turned by mystic force

[00:03:21] The little maiden into foam
