| 作曲 : Costello | |
| I expect you're entitled to know why I'm making contact | |
| With acquaintances scattered all over the land | |
| I'd promise you now and again that I'd honour the contract | |
| If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand | |
| So we broke that vow independently now | |
| But I don't know why you absolutely deny | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| When you first looked away I might say it was really a kindness | |
| It must have hurt you to see how dreams sour | |
| Now they say that justice and love are the next things to blindness | |
| Well you're getting plenty of both of them now | |
| And so you parade where appointments are made | |
| And never meant to be kept | |
| Unless you accept | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| You value the burnt amber of falling leaves | |
| And you long to delay | |
| As you feel their breath as they whisper | |
| "It won't hurt you now to betray | |
| If you just bow down" | |
| And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria | |
| You're helping them sell off some new party line | |
| I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior | |
| Now you say "Will you please meet this good friend of mine?" | |
| So you're in demand as long as you kiss their hand | |
| But all the applause is for their name not yours | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down) | |
| You bowed down | |
| You bowed down | |
| You bowed down | |
| You bowed down |
