Elvis Costello - Drum & Bone [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus 1]
Maybe we're nothing but skin and bone
Blare and rubber
Eyes that blubber
Teeth that bite
Hands that slight

[Chorus 2]
And I'm trying to do the best I can
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 1]
Mounds of dust and lips of ripe
Twice as vicious
As the words I type
Under a ribbon
Of every stripe

There's a grip that tightens
A dark that frightens
A wise that crackles
A fear that shackles

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 2]
And then that kinder creation
Becomes a fine fixation
All of a sudden
With the parts we've hidden
Because they are forbidden

Beneath a hide of pain
You'll find a soul of stain
While fists still beat
At heart's deceit

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]
Pig some skin
Stretch it tight
Make myself up overnight

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]
Dig my pin
Kick up some stink
Find myself a brand new kink

Prick that berry
And squeeze this ink
Scratch out all of the words I think
Before your very eyes can blink

[Chorus 2]
