Elvis Costello - Dirty Rotten Shame слова песни
I recall the good old daysBut thankfully, theyve goneNow the ponies all are broken nagsThat stumble as they groanAnd throw the jockeys from their throneWhen there are pitches left to dodgeAnd lions left to tameBut its nothing but a dirty rotten shameIts a dirty rotten shameThat when youre frivolous and strongIt isnt youth, its fearlessnessThat has been wasted on the youngThe cruel are in the cradleAnd the bishops in the bagIts nothing but a dirty rotten shameNow I find life a millionaireThat brags for rags and jewelsA snarling pup is wild enoughBut as his anger provesHes left to sharpen useless toolsThat tear and graze and finer phraseBut few are worth the nameIts nothing but a dirty rotten shameIts a dirty rotten shameAnd that is not an idle boastWhen all your courage and your strengthWill leave you as you need it mostWhen there are lamps to dampenAnd cauliflowers to flipIts nothing but a dirty rotten shame
