- It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit
每次這樣她都忍不住吐口水
If she wasn't so ladylike
如果她不那麼淑女
She imagines how she might have lived
她想像她本該怎樣生活
back when legends and history collide
當傳說與歷史碰撞
So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly
她指望她的王子發現他如此迷人
slumped at her side
倒在她的身旁
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
那些日子只能在畫廊的牆壁上回想起
And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike
她等待激情和幽默的衝擊
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
如何是好，我們該如何對待這全然無益的美麗
All this useless beauty
全然無益的美麗
Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
耶穌受難之日，天空灰暗
'Til he almost began to negotiate
直到他將要談判之時
She held his head like a baby and said 'It's okay if you cry'
她像孩子一樣捧起他的頭，說你可以哭泣
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess
現在他想讓她穿得神秘莫測
He desires to impress his associates
好給他的同伴留下印象
But he's part ugly beast and Hellenic deceased
但他是醜陋野獸和已故希臘人的一部分
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny
所以她發現這種混合難以被否認
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
如何是好，我們該如何對待這全然無益的美麗
All this useless beauty

She won't practice the looks from the great tragic books
她不會從偉大的悲劇書中練習演技
That were later disgraced to face celluloid
之後面對電影她會丟盡顏面
It won't even make sense but you can bet
那沒有意義，但可以打賭
If she isn't a sweetheart or plaything or pet
如果她不是情人、玩具或寵物
The film turns her into an unveiled threat
電影會讓她陷入暴露無遺的威脅中
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
流言蜚語四起，形象破壞
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
優雅和美德轉眼成為愚昧無知
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
當日曆泛黃褪色，所有的爭論都變成無力的妥協
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
我們的領袖供奉野獸
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
他們依然認為它們是古老的神
If something you missed didn't even exist
如果你思念的事物根本不存在
It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?
那就只是個理想，很驚訝嗎？
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
如何是好，我們該如何對待這全然無益的美麗
All this useless beauty
全然無益的美麗
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
如何是好，我們該如何對待這全然無益的美麗
All this useless beauty
全然無益的美麗
