big tears
Elvis Costello
big tears 歌詞
Everyone is busy with the regular routine, the sniper just takes his aim
Everyone is window shopping, no one is amazed
Even if he hit you, youd still think its just a graze
You go to a movie , you go to a show
You think that youre living, you dont really know
Big tears mean nothing, you can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing when youre lying in your coffin
Tell me whos been taken in
Oh, you talk about the new boss automatic clause
But of course they make it all up for you
Always fascinated by the weird edge of town
Come home disappointed every time they put you down
Laughing with the old boys, saying that its all noise
I suppose big tears mean nothing, you can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing when youre lying in your coffin
Tell me whos been taken in
All the buttons of my overcoat, they have fallen off one by one
You wouldnt even like me if youd never had a drink
You wouldnt even like me if you never stopped to think
Standing in the shadow, turning wives to widows
Dont you know big tears mean nothing, you can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing when youre lying in your coffin
Tell me whos been taken in, tell me
Me or yous been taken in, tell me, tell me, tell me
