Текст песни Stick Out Your TONGUE (Elvis Costello And The Roots) с переводом

They talked to the sister, the father and the mother

With a microphone in one hand and a checkbook in the other

And the camera noses in to the tears on her face

The tears on her face

The tears on her face

You can put them back together with your paper and paste

Stick out your tongue

Drink down the venom

She sleeps with the shirt of a late, great country singer

Stretched out upon her poor jealous husband’s pillow

In time you can turn these obsessions into careers

While the parents of those kidnapped children start the bidding for their tears

What would you say?

What would you do?

Children and animals two by two

Give me the needle

Give me the rope

We’re going to melt them down for pills and soap

Four and twenty crowbars, jemmy your desire

Out of the frying pan into the fire

The king is in the counting house

Some folk have all the might

And majesty will run on Bombay Gin and German spite

They come from lovely people

(They come from lovely people)

With a hard line in hypocrisy

There are tears of mediocrity

For the fag ends of the aristocracy

What would you say?

What would you do?

Children and animals two by two

Give me the needle

Give me the rope

We’re going to melt them down for pills and soap

Stick out your tongue

Stick out your tongue

Drink down the venom

The sugar-coated pill is getting bitterer still

You think your country needs you but you know it never will

So pack up your troubles in a stolen handbag

Don’t dilly dally boys rally around the flag

Give us our daily bread in individual slices

And something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis

What would you say?

What would you do?

Children and animals two by two

Give me the needle

Give me the rope

We’re going to melt them down for pills and soap

Now if you’d only genuflect

Stick out your tongue

Now if you’d only genuflect

Stick out your tongue
