Elvis Costello - Damnations Cellar слова песни
Did anybody notice, over marmalade and eggsIn between the princess legsWhat with wars and floods and beggarsNot to mention stocks and sharesIf you have a moment to spareCan you write and reassure me that I have seenTheyre constructing a time machineThere will be no need for the obituary pagesWe can have any hero from the bygone agestil the truth emerges, the argument ragesChorus:The major and the minorTurn from tallow into tarShould we leave them in their place? Down in damnations cellarWhen any form of deity that you might enjoyCan be conjured with a test-tube and a flameIf its out there then science can explain itOr at least remove the blameAnd if theres is anyone youd like to see againThe speak up quicklySend us back da vinci then we dont have to ponderThe maddening smile of "la giaconda"The critics say nijinsky, the dancer, of courseWhile the punters would probably prefer the horseYoull find its quicker than history, cheaper than divorceChorusBring back liberace or ollie and stanShakespeare will have to wait his turnElvis presley and puccini shall returnI suppose we live and learn, though its hard to believe as weCheerfully burnIts curiousSome will call for justice.There are murders to solveWhat about hitler? or at least lee harvey oswaldGive us this day and everything we squanderAnyone beautifulSomebody blonderTheyll never please mankind, so lie back and enjoy itStop press: theyve just decided to destroy itChorus
