Elvis Costello - All Grown Up текст песни

"im trouble" she said

Spread out on the floor of her fathers house

Her promise was almost undone

Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities

To finally deny everyone with unflattering comparison

Chorus

All grown up

And you dont care anymore

And you hate all the people that you used to adore

And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before

Did I hear you right?

Youre feeling hounded and pushed around

You want to just lay down and die

If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you

Why dont you stop blaming some guy

And go give the next one a try

Chorus

But look at yourself

Youll see youre still so young

You havent earned the weariness

That sounds so jaded on your tongue

"im weak" she says

And blesses herself and gets into bed

Clutching the covers to her throat

"so punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life"

"this night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that

You wrote"

Chorus
