Elvis Costello - Tommys Coming Home слова песни
(mccartney/macmanus)She was counting out the window of the outbound trainAll the poles of the telegraphAnd the rock-a-bye rhythm in the song of the railsCouldnt make the sweeper laughDown down down so deepDown down drowning in his sleepTommys coming home againAnd a hawk hovered high above a skinny jackrabbitPursued by a hungry foxAnd a broker awoke her from a fitful slumberThen consulted his shares and his stocksDown down down they goDown down how hell never knowTommys coming home againAnd its almost april fools dayAs he glanced on his paper looking through the veil (? )He could see she was really upsetAs she tucked back the ribbon in a velvet boxAs he offered her a cigaretteDown down down she took a dragNow hes covered in a flagTommys coming home againAnd its almost april fools dayAlmost april fools dayAnd the jokes on everyoneHe had that premonitionOnly dead men dwell uponBut how could he know that only twelve months laterShe would wear her skirt up over her kneeAnd in the very same carriage shed be flattened with rosesAnd forget the tears of bigotry (? )Down down down they flowNow now now it just dont matter anymoreTommy made it home againWhen it was almost april fools dayAlmost april fools dayAnd the jokes on everyoneHe had that premonitionOnly dead men dwell uponTommys coming home againTommys coming home againTommys coming home
