Elvis Costello - The World And His Wife слова песни
The family circle gather round from very far and nearTo pass around the same remarks they passed away last yearThe little girl you dangle on your knee without mishapSTIRS SOMETHING IN YOUR MEMORYAND SOMETHING IN YOUR LAPBut it`s a livingThis is the lifeFor the world and his wifeThe world and his wifeThe kissing cousins slip outside to cuddle and confessShe says sweet nothing at all it`s much more of a messThe conversation melts like chocolate down their open jawsAs the juniper berry slips down just like last night`s drawersTo tell the truth our Mum ran off with someone else`s fatherWENT FOR TWO WEEKS` HOLIDAY IN TARAMASALATADaddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walkingBetween Mum and the wallsGod only knows who does the talkingBut later on in the evening through the tears and fol de rolCome the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriolLonging thoughts go hankering for the old home overseasWITH A BLINDFOLD AND A NATIONAL ANTHEMSUNG IN DIFFERENT KEYS
