Lyrics for Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 67 | | | | Lyrics: | She says what has her daddy done
That you want him to be punished
When she woke up one day
to find
That he was starting to vanish
But _if you hope_ (?) to hear voices
You know
you should not be listening
Push the vigilant lips
Make a slice of her face
Said the
scandalous whispering
She's not on her own with the rest of her riches
As the kids
tear down the refrigerator pictures
She picks up the bills and pays the babysitter
'Cause
everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter
And once there was a time
Before you turned
strange
She thought they'd be together
For more than a lifetime
Look at them now
My, how things have changed
He can tell his sweetheart
Out of any girl on just a
whiff
And turn it from a candy to a caramel
And make her hate the silouette she used to
feel
And say "I know nothing about you."
Now what's left of the birthday cake
Smeared and beautifully frosted
An absent father picks up the phone
To find the
number's unlisted
While the kids are distracted
She'll notice _she's nervous at all_
(?)
But how long will it take
Not to make a mistake
When a gentleman comes to call
She's not on her own with the rest of her riches
As the kids tear down their
refrigerator pictures
They already know how a woman may advance
From a pretty picture hat
to a supermarket trance
Where it is unkind, she might as well forget it
'Cause everybody
knows burnt sugar is so bitter
Burnt sugar is so bitter
Burnt sugar
Burnt sugar
