Blame It On Cain

1.Blame It On Cain (Elvis Costello) sözleri

Elvis Costello tarafından My Aim Is True albümünde söylenen Blame It On Cain adlı şarkının sözleri.

Once upon a timeI had a little money.
Government burglars took it long
Before I could mail it to you.
Stillyou are the only one.
Now I can’t let it slip away.
So if the man with the ticker tape
He tries to take it
Well this is what I’m gonna say.

Blame it on cain.
Don’t blame it on me.
Ohohit’s nobody’s fault
But we need somebody to burn.

Well if I was a saint with
A silver cup
And the money got low
We could always heat it up
Or trade it in.
But then the radio to heaven will be wired to your purse.
And then you can run down the wave band
Coast to coasthand in hand.
Better or worsecurse for curse
Don’t be dissatisfied.
So you’re not satisfied.

Chorus

I think I’ve lived a little too long
On the outskirts of town
I think I’m going insane
From talking to myself for so long.
Oh but I’ve never been accused.
When they step on your face
You wear that good look grin.
I gotta break out one weekend
If I do somebody in.
But every single time
I feel a little stronger
They tell me it’s a crime.
Well how much longer?

Chorus
