Текст песни King Of Thieves (Elvis Costello & The Attractions) с переводом

I had forgotten all about 'The Case Of The Three Pins'

They said I must be cracked

Until the brown paper parcel landed on my welcome mat

Even the pretty secretaries who wouldn’t even

Let me hang my hat

All recognize my handwriting

And return to sender as a matter of fact

If I were you I’d change my name again

They don’t care what they do to you believe me

This is the coronation of the King of Thieves

His occupation is the King of Thieves

He can steal more than you can save

You can take him on, but you’re not that brave

I’ll tell your fortune in a minute or two

I might even tell you what comes next

The moguls want a human sacrifice

And look at that girl, young hungry and perplexed

They took away the best years of her life

Ah but it’s all in good fun

And if you kept you nose clean

You can laugh now at the caring things they’ve done

I’ll write this story down, but you’ll never guess the

Final twist

Blow the whistle on the whole design

As they find my name on that fatal mailing list

I hear the clatter of a typewriter

Another rookie eating up the reams

I think it’s time to place my feet under the desk

And put my mark on another man’s dreams

This is the coronation of the King of Thieves

And look at that girl

Look at that girl
