Elvis Costello - Lesson in Cruelty слова песни
(words: costello, music: nieve)Heres a thought to dwell upon,Daddys girl is almost goneNow theres just a vain princessher ruthlessnessTearing up the nurseryStars more used to glitteringPictured in the gutteringFaces caught about to laughTorn in halfSlipping through your fingersSee them scatterMaybe it doesnt matterBut I still really want to pick pieces upYou cant fool meWith this lesson in crueltyIts not as if I was asking time to stopIn violent blueLike roses redShe laughed as she tore off his headThe hours she gazed on her former championNow its just a frame of sellotape and torn wallpaperAs she rips his pretty face to bits-chorusIts too much too soon or so it seemsTo put away these childish dreamsYoull find out soon enough that worship can be toughLove is just a name to celebrate a visionOr confetti littered with regrets.See it scatter...Dear heart to good to wasteBut if some hot-head should claim itDont rush to his embraceAnd it remains to say...Ill love you just the same, whatever your decisionAs you put the paper to the flame(its a lesson in cruelty)
