Big Tears - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

作词：Elvis Costello

作曲：Elvis Costello

Everyone is busy with the regular routine

The sniper just takes his aim

Everyone is window shopping no one is amazed

Even if he hit you you'd still think it's just a graze

You go to a movie you go to a show

You think that you're loving you don't really know

Big tears mean nothing

You can count them as they fall

Big tears mean nothing

When you're lying in your coffin

Tell me who's been taken in

Oh you talk about the new boss automatic clause

But of course they make it all up for you

Always fascinated by the weird edge of town

Come home disappointed every time they put you down

Laughing with the old boys saying that it's all noise

I suppose big tears mean nothing

You can count them as they fall

Big tears mean nothing

When you're lying in your coffin

Tell me who's been taken in

All the buttons of my overcoat

They have fallen off one by one

You even like me if you'd never had a drink

You even like me if you never stopped to think

Standing in the shadow turning wives to widows

Don't you know big tears mean nothing

You can count them as they fall

Big tears mean nothing

When you're lying in your coffin

Tell me who's been taken in

Tell me who's been taken in

Tell me who me or yous been taken in

Tell me tell me tell me
