Elvis Costello - Man Out of Time текст песни

Текст
So this is where he came to hide

When he ran from you

In a private detectives overcoat

And dirty dead mans shoes

The pretty things of knightsbridge

Lying for a minister of state

Is a far cry from the nod and wink

Here at traitors gate

cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down

And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around

To murder my love is a crime

But will you still love

A man out of time

Theres a tuppeny hapenny millionaire

Looking for a fourpenny one

With a tight grip on the short hairs

Of the public imagination

But for his private wife and kids somehow

Real life becomes a rumour

Days of dutch courage

Just three french letters and a german sense of humour

Hes got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge

He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege

(chorus)

The biggest wheels of industry

Retire sharp and short

And the after dinner overtures

Are nothing but an after thought

Somebodys creeping in the kitchen

Theres a reputation to be made

Whose nerves are always on a knifes edge

Whos up late polishing the blade

Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning

You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning

(chorus)
