Elvis Costello - Damnation`s 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 seenThey`re constructing a time machineThere will be no need for the obituary pagesWe can have any hero from the bygone ages`Til the truth emerges, the argument ragesChorus:The major and the minorTurn from tallow into tarShould we leave them in their place?Down in damnation`s cellarWhen any form of deity that you might enjoyCan be conjured with a test-tube and a flameIf it`s out there then science can explain itOr at least remove the blameAnd if theres is anyone you`d like to see againThe speak up quicklySend us back Da Vinci then we don`t have to ponderThe maddening smile of "La Giaconda"The critics say Nijinsky, the dancer, of courseWhile the punters would probably prefer the horseYou`ll find it`s 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 it`s hard to believe as wecheerfully burnIt`s 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 blonderThey`ll never please mankind, so lie back and enjoy itStop press: They`ve just decided to destroy itChorus
