Written by：Elvis Costello

Was able so Vivian said
维维安总爱这样夸口
Her shoulders flung forward
她双肩故作姿态前倾
Her lips in a purse
嘴唇紧抿成一线
She talks like the beauty that she never was
言谈间尽是她从未拥有的美貌
Of the fabulous wild nights that she never has
描述着那些从未经历的狂野夜晚
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
某个角度他神似猫王
In a certain way he feels like Jesus
某种气质又恍若耶稣
Everyone dreams of him just as they can
人人都按自己心意将他幻想
But he's only the humble delivery man
但他只是个谦逊的送货郎
Geraldine blushes and brushes away
杰拉尔丁红着脸拂去
The cigarette ashes that Vivian scatters
薇薇安洒落的烟灰
Stares out of the window at the things that she says
望着窗外她所说的那些事
While gossip within her competes with the widow
内心的闲言与寡妇的传闻交织
Ever since he's gone she feels like crying all the time
自他离去后她终日以泪洗面
She knows for sure Vivian is lying
她确信薇薇安在说谎
Now she has a daughter to raise as she can
如今她独自抚养女儿成长
But she just wouldn't trust that delivery man
可她始终不愿相信那个送货郎
Ivy puts down the ghost story she's reading
艾薇放下手中读着的鬼怪故事
Looks up at that face on the wall
抬头凝视墙上那张面容
Thinking about how her father lay bleeding
想起父亲倒在血泊中的模样
Shot in the back 'cos orders were misleading
因误导的命令而背后中弹
How a flag and a medal don't have any meaning
旗帜与勋章在此刻毫无意义
On the 5th of July as they tore down the fair
七月五日集市被拆除那天
And he'd seen all the local girls who were worth kissing
他见过镇上所有值得亲吻的姑娘
With the smell of the gunpowder still in the air
空气中仍弥漫着火药的气息
They noticed that Abel and Ivy were missing
他们发现亚伯和艾薇不见了踪影
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
某个角度他神似猫王
In a certain way he seemed like Jesus
某种神情又似耶稣般圣洁
He said why can't you be kind to me like you were meant to be
他说为何不能如命中注定般待我温柔
When they let me out I had a brand new identity
当我重获自由时 已拥有全新身份
Now everyone dreams of me just as they can
如今人人都按自己想象梦见我
I want to be your delivery man
我只想做你平凡的送货员
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
某个角度他神似猫王
In a certain way he seemed like Jesus
某种神情又似耶稣般圣洁
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
某个角度他神似猫王
In a certain way he seemed like Jesus
某种神情又似耶稣般圣洁
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
某个角度他神似猫王
In a certain way he feels like Jesus
某种气质又恍若耶稣
