Lyrics for Sulky Girl by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Brutal Youth | | Track: | Sulky Girl | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | She wears a wedding ring her sister lent
To throw them off the scent
Just let them guess;
it's what they expect
Who in the world has bitten her neck?
She's discovered wearing last
night's dress
The carnal and cunning she couldn't express
Who do you think she's trying to
impress
Chorus:
I think you'd better hold your tongue
Although you've never
been that strong
I'm sorry to say that I knew all along
You're no match for that sulky
girl
She left her European town
Before she let the family down
She couldn't
stand the massacre game
So she dyed her hair, adopted another name
With the evidence of
passing out
Stamped on her hand; she glows in the dark
He thinks she's from another
planet
So,
-chorus-
Sulky girl
I'm sure you look a picture when you
cry
Threatening the silent treatment doesn't qualify
It's like money in the bank
Your
expression is blank
And when a chance appears
You'll be nearer to tears
Sulky girl
(x2)
He said "Hello my pretty flower"
Just trying out his tycoon power
Avoiding
the mirror, her pitying stare
She said "Your're mistaken
Your money's no good in
here"
Just some stupid little know-it-all
You thought she looked easy
He's not that
astute
You'll pay for the distance
Between cruelty and
beauty
-chorus-
I won't tell you again
What do you gain by blackening her
name
She's smarter than you
Oh isn't it a shame
You're going to lose that sulky
girl
Sulky girl
I saw you practicing your blackmail faces
Suddenly you're
talking like a dutchess
But you're still a waitress
I saw through your pretense
But
in my defence
There are a few events
I think will spell the sentence
