It`s Time — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

The party`s over
Your time is up
You`ve had your last pointless teardrop
Washed down in that broken coffee cup
This magic moment concludes when that cigarette ends
Did you get what you wanted?
Well I suppose that depends
Well I suppose that depends

If you go, if you go
Where passion is squandered and money is spent
It`s time, it`s time
It`s time, it`s time
It`s time, it`s time, it`s time
You must see it`s time that you went
You must see it`s time that you went

Our brief acquaintance was such a mistake
Now it seems more like a sentence
Or something you always had to fake
This magic moment concludes when they turn out the light
It`s not the days when you leave me
But all I fear are the nights
But all I fear are the nights

Chorus

You told the same joke to me too many times
I wish that someone would hit it
Just before you reach
Just before you reach
Just before you reach the punchline

The party`s over
Time we broke up
It always seemed like a bad dream
One where I finally woke up
This magic moment concluding our mutual fate
But if you do have to leave me
Who will I have left to hate?
Who will I have left to hate?

Chorus
