[00:00.00]Nothing Clings Like Ivy (Album Version) - Elvis Costello & The Imposters
[00:02.85]Written by：Elvis Costello
[00:05.70]Nothing clings like Ivy
[00:12.27]Frightened by the dark
[00:16.99]Though she cuts deep
[00:20.64]It never leaves a mark
[00:28.30]No one quite like Ivy
[00:34.84]Ever gets it straight
[00:39.66]What she believes
[00:43.28]She won't negotiate
[00:51.03]All the words of tenderness
[01:00.22]That never quite got through
[01:07.80]She said you know how young girls are
[01:17.41]From my contempt for you
[01:25.64]Outside in the hollow
[01:32.38]She may dare herself
[01:37.13]For there may be
[01:40.60]A serpent in the grass
[01:48.72]Nothing clings like Ivy
[01:55.37]Trying to scare herself
[02:00.16]And it may strike or
[02:04.55]Wait for her to pass
[02:11.72]All the words of tenderness
[02:20.83]That she never possessed
[02:28.55]So what's the use of promises
[02:38.02]I had my fingers crossed
[03:08.52]All the words of tenderness
[03:17.61]That never quite got through
[03:25.04]She said I laughed behind your back
[03:34.53]When I told them to you
[03:42.63]Nothing clings like Ivy
[03:49.23]Frightened by the dark
[03:53.89]Though she cuts deep
[03:57.66]It never leaves a mark
