Текст: Elvis Costello. Little Savage.
I would have waited all my life
Just to make love out of something other than spite
But the beauty is the beast you're baiting
Should really be worth the waiting
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
And so you turn your back on me
And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
Actions speak louder now than words
By just a fraction
What's the use of saying I love you
When I'm drinking in distraction
We save our sanity
By saying such, such
After it's all been discussed
You say you must be touched
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
Little savage
Just to make love out of something other than spite
But the beauty is the beast you're baiting
Should really be worth the waiting
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
And so you turn your back on me
And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
Actions speak louder now than words
By just a fraction
What's the use of saying I love you
When I'm drinking in distraction
We save our sanity
By saying such, such
After it's all been discussed
You say you must be touched
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
Little savage
Costello, Elvis
