[ti:The Other End Of The Telescope] [ar:Elvis Costello] [al:All This Useless Beauty] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Other End Of The Telescope - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛) [00:04.84]Shall we agree that just this once [00:09.22]I'm gonna change my life [00:13.28]Until it's just as tiny or important as you like [00:21.91]And in time we won't even recall that we spoke [00:28.04]Words that turned out to be as big as smoke [00:31.95]As smoke that disappears in the air [00:35.54]There's always something that's smoldering somewhere [00:39.38]I know it don't make a difference to you [00:43.85]But oh It sure made a difference to me [00:47.97]You'll see me off in the distance I hope [00:52.38]At the other end [00:56.30]At the other end of the telescope [01:05.48]The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice [01:14.08]Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close [01:22.20]Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir [01:28.64]They interrupted my evil designs [01:32.70]One day you are up in the clouds [01:36.26]The next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines [01:40.35]I know it don't make a difference to you [01:44.52]But oh It sure made a difference to me [01:48.70]You'll see me off in the distance I hope [01:52.72]At the other end [01:57.02]At the other end of the telescope [02:05.71] [02:06.84]Lie down baby now don't say a word [02:10.95]There there baby your vision is blurred [02:14.68]Your head is so sore from all of that thinking [02:19.13]I don't want to hurt you now [02:22.44]But I think you're shrinking [02:28.62]You're half-naked ambition and you're half out of your wits [02:37.04]Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits [02:44.75]And it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call [02:50.86]I never noticed you could be so small [02:54.93]The answer was under your nose but the question never arose [03:01.67]I know it don't make a difference to you [03:06.02]But oh It sure made a difference to me [03:10.10]'Cause late in the evening as I sit here moping [03:14.25]With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin [03:18.46]And the cast-iron heart that you failed to tear open [03:26.45]At the other end [03:30.47]At the other end of the telescope
