[00:00.00] | 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? |
