Elvis Costello ~ Blame It On Cain


Once upon a time, I had a little money Government burglars took it along Before I could mail it to you Still you are the only one Now I can't let it slip away So if the man with the ticker tape, he tries to take it Well, this is what I'm gonna say (CHORUS) Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh-oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup And the money got low, we could always heat it up Or trade it in But then the radio to heaven will be wired to your purse And you can run down the waveband Coast-to-coast, hand in hand Bad to worse, curse for curse Don't be dissatisfied, so if you're not satisfied (REPEAT CHORUS) I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town I think I'm going insane from talking to myself for so long Oh, but I've never been accused When they step on your face, then wear that good-look grin I gotta break out one weekend before I do somebody in But every single time I feel a little stronger They tell me it's a crime, well, how much longer? (REPEAT CHORUS) Blame it on Cain, Oh-oh, oh, please don't blame it on me It's nobody's fault But it just seems to be his turn more free lyrics

Once upon a time, I had a little money

Government burglars took it along

Before I could mail it to you

Still you are the only one

Now I can't let it slip away

So if the man with the ticker tape, he tries to take it

Well, this is what I'm gonna say

(CHORUS) Blame it on Cain

Don't blame it on me

Oh-oh, oh, it's nobody's fault

But we need somebody to burn

Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup

And the money got low, we could always heat it up

Or trade it in

But then the radio to heaven will be wired to your purse

And you can run down the waveband

Coast-to-coast, hand in hand

Bad to worse, curse for curse

Don't be dissatisfied, so if you're not satisfied

(REPEAT CHORUS)

I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town

I think I'm going insane from talking to myself for so long

Oh, but I've never been accused

When they step on your face, then wear that good-look grin

I gotta break out one weekend before I do somebody in

But every single time I feel a little stronger

They tell me it's a crime, well, how much longer?

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Blame it on Cain,

Oh-oh, oh, please don't blame it on me

It's nobody's fault

But it just seems to be his turn

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.
