A Voice In The Dark - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
Written by：Elvis Costello
You can read right through a book of matches

But that won't make you smart

You can laugh in the face of watches

But time will only break your heart

Kings reign beneath umbrellas

Hide pennies down in cellars

And money pours down and yet

Not everyone gets soaking wet

When bores and bullies conspire

To stamp out your spark

Listen for a voice in the dark

Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon

And a wolf begins to howl in tune

I announced for all mankind a boon

Stand aside you big baboon

Now I'm the a prize invention girl
You're the image of yourself

Forget your cares
Your disapproving stares

I'm not here to try to jump your borders

Just ask your nieces and daughters
I'm flat as sole I'm happy as a clam

But you don't know the kind of man I am

Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal

Now my net is overflowing

And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing

I've got something right there
You might want to hear

I have no fear lend a hand lend an ear

If your rent money is in arrears

We'll be striking up a symphony bandstand

Long of hair and loose of tooth

There'll be pirouettes and startling handstands

And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth

When all is said that then redundant

They gallivant in peg leg pants

I'll be your servant
You'll be my pal

And I'll be faithful you know I shall

There's no fool like an old fool

Who blames it all upon his youth

When times are tough and you find you're down

Without a star to wish upon

Listen for a voice in the dark

I was striking through a box of matches

Hoping that one would spark

I heard somebody calling to me

A voice in the dark

The sound both wild and gentle

Daring and confidential

I thought there was music playing

But it was all and only talk

When liars and bullies conspire to stamp out your spark

Fill up that empty space in your heart

Listen up when the herald says hark

Believe in a voice in the dark
