Pony Street — текст песни (Elvis Costello)





She lives on pony street

And they should scatter flowers at her feet

But when they come calling I think its appalling

Theyre sober and theyre polite

Theyre deeply respectful when I would expect them

To keep her out all night



That little martinet

Will get her own way yet

If you need instruction in mindless destruction

Ill show you a thing or two

You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me

For you to view



Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying

From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell youve been spying

But your generation confesses before it transgresses

Those super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses



If youre going out tonight

I wont wait up

Reading "das kapital"

Watching "home shopping club"

While youre flogging a dead horse

All the way down pony street

Where you live after a fashion

All the way down pony street

The life and the soul of every indiscretion

That lives on, that lives on, that lives on

Pony street



Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever

But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather

For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me

For I am the genuine thing but for you its just history



If youre going out tonight

How can you be sure

Where you lay your pretty head

Mother may have been before

So youre flogging a dead horse

All the way down pony street

Where you live after a fashion

All the way down pony street

The life and the soul of every indiscretion

That lives on [5x]

She lives on pony street [2x]

She lives on, she lives on [2x]
