Текст (слова) песни: Elvis Costello - (The) Fall Of The World`s Own Optimist
(Elvis Costello/Aimee Mann) There`s no charity in you And that surprises me I guess I thought you were a golden idol `Cause I called you majesty On the balustrade You watched me hunt for tips I was obliged to pick up From the passing trade
CHORUS: Hey, kids--look at this It`s the fall of the world`s own optimist I could get back up if you insist But you`ll have to ask politely `Cause the eggshells I`ve been treading Couldn`t spare me a beheading And I`ll know I had it coming From a Caesar who was only slumming Hey, kids--look at this It`s the fall of the world`s own optimist
Well, I could have objections Which you could override But what`s the point--we`re only flogging the horse When the horseman has up and died Once I testified And swore I`d never leave a stone unturned-- I bet you`re really glad that I lied
CHORUS
Hey, kids--look at this It`s the fall of the world`s own optimist I could get back up if you insist But you`ll have to ask politely Yes, you`ll have to ask politely Yes, you`ll have to ask
