Song | The Long Honeymoon |
Artist | Elvis Costello & the Attractions |
Album | Imperial Bedroom |
作曲 : Costello | |
All the bedroom lights go out | |
As the neighbourhood gets quiet | |
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right | |
But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight | |
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright | |
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him | |
He was late this time last week | |
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim | |
'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak | |
There's been a long honeymoon | |
She thought too late and spoke too soon | |
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness | |
There's been a long honeymoon | |
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins | |
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this | |
All the movies and the papers | |
Feature the murders of lonely women | |
If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend | |
Why doesn't he come home | |
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing | |
Maybe she should just pretend | |
(chorus) |
