Almost Ideal Eyes — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Here she comes with her almost ideal eyes

And her flawless skin and her petulant pout

The memory of such a long blond alibi

Still makes me want to shout out loud

You ************ when you clear your head my dear

You cant come out here in those stolen clothes

Telling me all about some mystery

I hope she isnt one, I hope she isnt one of those



Almost ideal eyes

Viewed through a rosey hue

So beautiful, trusting

You find liberal is an insult now and care is what you pay for

Be sure of what youre wishing for, be careful what you pray for

When you look into those almost ideal



Love is smiles, he will hypnotize you wild

He tries to analyze your dreams

Fill you up with all his big ideas while he really wants to make you

Scream out loud at the phony innocence

And pained pretence and the dismal rage.

The vacant lot that thankfully time forgot

Where you never have to act, you never have to act your age



Almost ideal eyes

Viewed through a rosey hue

So beautiful, trusting

You find stupid is a compliment and thrill is what you play for

Be sure of what youre wishing for, be careful what you pray for

When you look into those almost ideal eyes



In the spirit(? ) all your friends look uglier

And you find youre wearing an evening gown

Weeping over some tiny broken bird

While the sky is decorated

Shocking pink and a dirty shade of brown

And you think you need to be tranquilized

A feat that may fit to your new career

Whatever you invent youll never be content with



Almost ideal eyes

Viewed through a rosey hue

So beautiful, trusting

Rebellion is just currency, the moon is what you pay for

Be sure of what youre looking for, be careful what you pray for

When you look into those almost ideal eyes



Here she comes, here she comes now.....
