Elvis Costello - Little Atoms слова песни
I arose and marigold lay down with curious irisCherry gave to victor her prudence and her virusFor the sake of purity I can recall the time and placeBetween wisdom and murder she gave up her immaculate faceMy poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games,With false and lovely modestyI can recall the names Ill missIn the particle of me that cares for thisI betrayed those little atoms with a kissPatience has her virtue stillBut every grace must have its priceI through some felicity may spin a tale of constant viceI took my better nature out, drowned it in the babbling streamTook the blossom of my youth and blew it all to smithereensChorusAnd if you still dont like my song then you can just go to hellI dont care if Im right or wrong or if my typewriter can spellBut I cannot promise you Ive said "goodbye" to childish thingsTheres still some pretty insults left and such sport in threateningChorusAnd for the sake of clarityThey are "faith", "hope", and "charity"In the particle of me that cares for thisI betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
