Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

You used to get it in your fishnets

你过去总是穿着渔网袜寻欢作乐

Now you only get it in your night dress

现在你只会在睡裙里自娱自乐

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

为了安稳的生活，抛弃了所有放荡的夜晚

Landed in a very common crisis

最终陷入了平庸的危机

Everything's in order in a black hole

一切都在黑洞里井然有序

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though

但似乎没有什么比过去更美好

That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco

那杯血腥玛丽少了些辣椒酱

Remember when you used to be a rascal?

还记得你过去是个小流氓的时候吗？

Oh, the boy's a slag, the best you ever had

哦，那男孩是个人渣，却是你拥有过的最好的

The best you ever had is just a memory

你拥有过的最好的，也只剩回忆

And those dreams weren't as daft as they seem

那些梦想并不像它们看起来那么愚蠢

Aren't as daft as they seem, my love

并不像它们看起来那么愚蠢，我的爱人

When you dream them up

当你编织起它们

Flicking through a little book of sex tips

翻阅着一本小小的性爱技巧书

Remember when the boys were all electric?

还记得那些男孩们都充满激情的时候吗？

Now when she's told she's gonna get it

现在当她被告知她要得手的时候

I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it

我猜她宁愿忘记一切

Clinging 'til I'm getting sentimental

紧紧抓住直到我变得多愁善感

Said she wasn't going, but she went still

她说她不会走，但她还是走了

Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle

喜欢她的绅士们不那么温柔

Was it a Mecca Dauber or a betting pencil?

那是宾果笔还是赌博铅笔？

Oh, the boy's a slag, the best you ever had

哦，那男孩是个人渣，却是你拥有过的最好的

The best you ever had is just a memory

你拥有过的最好的，也只剩回忆

And those dreams weren't as daft as they seem

那些梦想并不像它们看起来那么愚蠢

Aren't as daft as they seem, my love

并不像它们看起来那么愚蠢，我的爱人

When you dream them up

当你编织起它们

Oh, Flo

哦，芙洛

Where did you go?

你去了哪里？

Where did you go?

你去了哪里？

Where did you go, oh?
