Lyrics by:Elvis Costello
Composed by:Elvis Costello
Penelope Halfpenny sat on the desk
Penelope半便士坐在桌子上
Then stretched and grinned
然后伸展身体露出笑容
She cracked her spine and so we sinned
她伤了她的脊梁骨所以我们罪恶滔天
While Ruth in red and Beckett in blue
Ruth穿着红色衣服Beckett穿着蓝色衣服
Into the confessional flew
飞进忏悔室
And in that box unlocked their dreams
在那个盒子里打开了他们的梦想
While lovers ran hands on nylon
恋人们牵着尼龙线
Penelope Penelope
佩内洛普
Penelope Halfpenny
Penelope半便士
Penelope Halfpenny
Penelope半便士
Asked a great deal turned on her heel
我问了她很多问题她都不理睬
Through her squandered ambitions while marking time
在原地踏步时浪费了她的雄心壮志
Taught lessons to all adjacent to crime
教训所有与犯罪为邻的人
From her days reporting the Scotland Yard blotter
从她报道伦敦警察厅的记事本开始
Who got who and who got what
谁拥有谁拥有什么
But none of that mattered not one jot
但这一切都无关紧要
To Penelope Penelope Penelope

Penelope Halfpenny
Penelope半便士
Ruth in red tumbled from her bed although I know
穿着红色衣服的Ruth从床上跌了下来虽然我知道
Beckett in blue hung there bleeding from the springs below
身穿蓝色队服的Beckett被悬挂在那里鲜血直流
Penelope Penelope

Penelope she came and went
Penelope她来了又走
We assumed that all her savings were spent
我们以为她的积蓄都花光了
Her style of drama and her shape of face
她的戏剧风格和脸型
Disappeared with the dot of a decimal place
消失得无影无踪
While Beckett in blue and Ruth in red
贝克特穿蓝色,露丝穿红色
Might for all I know be dead
也许我已经死去
And to the church door both were driven
两人开车来到教堂门口
Or could be somewhere happily living
或者可以在某个地方幸福地生活
Just in time to be forgiven
正好可以得到宽恕
Penelope Penelope Penelope
