Song | Tart |
Artist | Elvis Costello |
Album | When I Was Cruel |
作曲 : Elvis Costello | |
作词 : Elvis Costello | |
Hear silver trumpets will trill in Arabic streets of Seville | |
Oranges roll in the gutter | |
And you pick them up | |
And peel back the skin | |
To the red fruit within | |
But the flavor is... | |
Tart | |
And the flavor is... | |
Tart | |
Is it something you crave? | |
And you say that you only feel bitterness | |
When you know it's a lie, lie, lie... | |
Wild with a blackberry bush | |
There were blossoms of cherries to crush | |
There, at the edge of the asphalt tempting fingertips | |
They stain your hands, press too hard | |
They'll color your lips... | |
But the flavor is... | |
Tart | |
And the flavor is... | |
Tart | |
Is it something you crave? | |
'Cos you say that you only feel bitterness | |
Would it kill you to show us a little sweetness? | |
Repeat chorus | |
Odd, where nothing else grows | |
It was something like love that she chose | |
Always a creature of habit | |
When pity would do | |
She wore down that heel with no feeling | |
She kept on her shoes | |
Repeat chorus | |
Nylon was hung from a peg | |
And a kohl black seam ran down her leg | |
Fishermen look for their nets | |
And send their regrets | |
The bug lay there broken | |
She spoke: "Is this some kind of joke?" | |
But the flavor is... | |
