Church Underground 歌詞

Church Underground - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)

Written by:Elvis Costello

She stood spotlit in a plain print dress

 

Came howling out of the wilderness

 

There beat a cunning and murderous heart

 

Beneath that calm exterior

 

You know my name

 

You don't know my mind

 

Don't doubt my eyes

They betray the past

 

And I've already forgotten

 

Much more than you will ever know

 

Every word that I have spoken is true

 

Except for one that were broken in two

 

Trying to make peace after a long night of pretend

 

Need a pawnbroker or moneylender

 

Why do you do me down mister

 

Sing hallelujah sister

 

Turn up the volume just to turn it down

 

The trivial secrets buried with profound

 

It's enough to put a church underground

 

It's enough to put a church underground

 

Deflowered young and then ever since

 

She's tried to wash off his fingerprints

 

So every charlatan and prince

 

Was made to feel inferior

 

She worked for tips in a 10 cent dance

 

Said moving pictures might pay perchance

 

10000 one way tickets to the sparkling coast

 

From the blank interior

 

Everybody's either talking in code

 

Or getting ready to explode

 

And she was singing with five piece band

 

Seems that no one really wants this sound

 

Why do you do me down mister

 

Sing hallelujah sister

 

Turn up the volume just to turn it down

 

The trivial secrets buried with profound

 

It's enough to put a church underground

 

It's enough to put a church underground

 

The shaft of fanlight streaked with rain

 

Poured through the glass punched through the pain

 

A holy picture hidden in the midden of that poisoned stitch

 

Her lonely voice was just a ruin in these riches

 

She must have been dreaming this all along

 

Could she be redeeming herself in song

 

I'm no one's martyred plaster saint

 

Below the grease beneath the paint

I'm rolling like barrel

 

Swinging like a gallows

 

I'm rising up fast like all hell and all hallows

 

Why do you do me down mister

 

Sing hallelujah sister

 

I'll be damned or purgatory bound

 

Before those jokers ever understand

 

It's enough to put a church underground

 

It's enough to put a church underground

 

 

It's enough to put a church underground
