Expert Rites

Expert Rites - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet

I marvel at the wonder of it in our soulless age

Fast flow the tears upon the page

Don't be alarmed I am her friend

Will I be excused if I presume

It is more than disappointment that we share

You share the same sorry life

The families fight

That unhappy blade you both invite

This romantic ideal has a lonely appeal

I once loved someone the way that you do

But I had to let her go

I live with my regret

Don't despair my would be Juliet
