lirik lagu elvis costello – little atoms
i arose and marigold lay down with curious iris
cherry gave to victor her prudence and her virus
for the sake of purity i can recall the time and place
between wisdom and murder she gave up her
immaculate face
my poor belated chast-ty fell foul
of grown up games
with false and lovely modesty
i can recall the names i’ll miss
in the particle of me that cares for this
i betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
patience has her virtue still but every grace
must have its price
i through some felicity may spin a tale
of constant vice
i took my better nature out, drowned it
in the babbling stream
took the blossom of my youth
and blew it all to smithereens
my poor belated chast-ty fell foul
of grown up games
with false and lovely modesty
i can recall the names i’ll miss
in the particle of me that cares for this
i betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
and if you still don’t like my song
then you can just go to h-ll
i don’t care if i’m right or wrong or if
my typewriter can spell
but i cannot promise you i’ve said “goodbye”
to childish things
there’s still some pretty insults left
and such sport in threatening
my poor belated chast-ty fell foul
of grown up games
with false and lovely modesty
i can recall the names i’ll miss
in the particle of me that cares for this
i betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
and for the sake of clarity
they are “faith”, “hope”, and “charity”
in the particle of me that cares for this
i betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
