The World And His Wife歌词

歌手:Elvis Costello 专辑:Punch The Clock

作曲 : Costello
The family circle gathers 'round from very far and near
To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year
The little girl you dangled on your knee without mishap
Stirs something in your memory and something in your lap
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
For the world and his wife
The world and his wife
The kissing cousins slip outside to cuddle and confess
She says sweet nothing at all, it's much more of a mess
The conversation melts like chocolate down their open jaws
As the juniper berry slips down just like last night's drawers
It's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
For the world and his wife
The world and his wife
To tell the truth our Mum ran off with someone else's father
Went for two weeks' holiday in Taramasalata
Daddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walking
Between Mum and the walls, God only knows who does the talking
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
For the world and his wife
The world and his wife
But later on in the evening through the tears and fol-de-rol
Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol
Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas
With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in different keys
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
For the world and his wife
For the world and his wife
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
For the world and his wife
For the world and his wife
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
But it's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
For the world and his wife
For the world and his wife
It's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
It's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
It's a living
(it's a living)
This is the life
(this is the life)
For the world and his wife
For the world and his wife
(It's a living)
(This is the life)
(It's a living)
(This is the life)
(It's a living)
(This is the life)
