Elvis Costello ~ Waiting For The End Of The World


The man from the television crawled into the train I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time Everyone was looking for a little entertainment So they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name And then they shut down the power all along the line And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine They got to touchin', all the girls were scared to call out Nobody was saying anything at all We were waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord, I sincerely hope you're coming 'Cause you really started something Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again We got to the station about 20 minutes later The legendary hitch-hiker says that he knows where it's at Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes His suntan lotion and his castanets He was waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord, I sincerely hope you're coming 'Cause you really started something And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah Hiding from a scandal in the national press They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world (REPEAT AND FADE) more free lyrics

The man from the television crawled into the train

I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time

Everyone was looking for a little entertainment

So they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name

And then they shut down the power all along the line

And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine

They got to touchin', all the girls were scared to call out

Nobody was saying anything at all

We were waiting for the end of the world

Waiting for the end of the world

waiting for the end of the world

Dear Lord, I sincerely hope you're coming

'Cause you really started something

Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again

We got to the station about 20 minutes later

The legendary hitch-hiker says that he knows where it's at

Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that

With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes

His suntan lotion and his castanets

He was waiting for the end of the world

Waiting for the end of the world

Waiting for the end of the world

Dear Lord, I sincerely hope you're coming

'Cause you really started something

And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest

All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah

Hiding from a scandal in the national press

They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress

You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach

But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach

Waiting for the end of the world

Waiting for the end of the world

(REPEAT AND FADE)

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
