作曲 : Costello |
| [00:10.180] |
It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit |
| [00:15.950] |
If she wasn't so ladylike |
| [00:21.260] |
She imagines how she might have lived |
| [00:25.260] |
back when legends and history collide |
| [00:32.060] |
So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly |
| [00:37.720] |
slumped at her side |
| [00:42.580] |
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall |
| [00:47.690] |
And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike |
| [00:56.390] |
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? |
| [01:07.370] |
All this useless beauty |
| [01:21.600] |
Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time |
| [01:26.550] |
'Til he almost began to negotiate |
| [01:32.280] |
She held his head like a baby and said "It's okay if you cry" |
| [01:42.400] |
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess |
| [01:47.630] |
He desires to impress his associates |
| [01:52.840] |
But he's part ugly beast and Hellenic deceased |
| [01:58.060] |
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny |
| [02:06.150] |
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? |
| [02:17.240] |
All this useless beauty |
| [02:25.590] |
She won't practice the looks from the great tragic books |
| [02:30.750] |
That were later disgraced to face celluloid |
| [02:36.210] |
It won't even make sense but you can bet |
| [02:41.330] |
If she isn't a sweetheart or plaything or pet |
| [02:46.430] |
The film turns her into an unveiled threat |
| [02:54.730] |
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails |
| [02:59.550] |
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity |
| [03:04.760] |
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise |
| [03:14.980] |
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts |
| [03:19.880] |
They still think they're the gods of antiquity |
| [03:25.150] |
If something you missed didn't even exist |
| [03:30.150] |
It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise? |
| [03:38.910] |
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? |
| [03:49.380] |
All this useless beauty |
| [03:57.870] |
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? |
| [04:08.240] |
All this useless beauty |
