A Voice In The Dark歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Costello
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Costello
[00:15.02]You can read right through a book of matches
[00:17.38]
[00:18.50]But that won't make you smart
[00:20.54]
[00:21.87]You can laugh in the face of watches
[00:24.34]
[00:25.62]But time will only break your heart
[00:27.55]
[00:28.79]Kings reign beneath umbrellas
[00:31.18]
[00:32.25]Hide pennies down in cellars
[00:34.69]
[00:35.97]And money pours down and yet
[00:37.97]
[00:38.95]Not everyone gets soaking wet
[00:41.37]
[00:42.53]When bores and bullies conspire
[00:44.96]
[00:46.05]To stamp out your spark
[00:48.70]
[00:49.71]Listen for a voice in the dark
[00:52.87]
[00:55.53]Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon
[00:58.44]
[00:59.09]And a wolf begins to howl in tune
[01:01.95]
[01:02.61]I announced for all mankind a boon
[01:05.29]
[01:06.07]Stand aside you big baboon
[01:07.84]
[01:08.64]Now I'm the a prize invention girl
[01:10.27]You're the image of yourself
[01:12.25]
[01:12.89]Forget your cares
[01:14.23]Your disapproving stares
[01:15.69]
[01:16.70]I'm not here to try to jump your borders
[01:19.21]
[01:20.19]Just ask your nieces and daughters
[01:23.36]I'm flat as sole I'm happy as a clam
[01:26.11]
[01:26.78]But you don't know the kind of man I am
[01:29.67]
[01:30.38]Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal
[01:33.04]
[01:33.64]Now my net is overflowing
[01:35.51]
[01:36.16]And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing
[01:39.90]
[01:40.47]I've got something right there
[01:41.90]You might want to hear
[01:43.30]
[01:44.35]I have no fear lend a hand lend an ear
[01:46.79]
[01:47.86]If your rent money is in arrears
[01:49.92]
[01:51.58]We'll be striking up a symphony bandstand
[01:54.22]
[01:55.30]Long of hair and loose of tooth
[01:57.32]
[01:58.27]There'll be pirouettes and startling handstands
[02:01.16]
[02:02.46]And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth
[02:05.19]
[02:05.89]When all is said that then redundant
[02:07.96]
[02:08.90]They gallivant in peg leg pants
[02:11.05]
[02:12.00]I'll be your servant
[02:13.79]You'll be my pal
[02:14.68]
[02:15.90]And I'll be faithful you know I shall
[02:18.19]
[02:19.41]There's no fool like an old fool
[02:22.23]
[02:23.06]Who blames it all upon his youth
[02:25.99]
[02:26.70]When times are tough and you find you're down
[02:29.53]
[02:30.10]Without a star to wish upon
[02:32.13]
[02:33.26]Listen for a voice in the dark
[02:36.93]
[02:40.30]I was striking through a box of matches
[02:42.58]
[02:43.66]Hoping that one would spark
[02:45.97]
[02:47.19]I heard somebody calling to me
[02:49.68]
[02:50.88]A voice in the dark
[02:52.99]
[02:54.41]The sound both wild and gentle
[02:56.61]
[02:57.58]Daring and confidential
[02:59.76]
[03:01.42]I thought there was music playing
[03:03.48]
[03:04.41]But it was all and only talk
[03:06.68]
[03:07.92]When liars and bullies conspire to stamp out your spark
[03:14.38]
[03:15.11]Fill up that empty space in your heart
[03:17.80]
[03:18.41]Listen up when the herald says hark
[03:21.23]
[03:22.43]Believe in a voice in the dark
[03:26.83]
