Lyrics for Tart by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Tart | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 67 | | | | Lyrics: | Hear silver trumpets will trill in Arabic streets of Seville
Oranges roll in the gutter
And
you pick them up
And peel back the skin
To the red fruit within
But the flavour
is
Tart
And the flavour is
Tart
Is it something you crave?
And you say that you
only feel bitterness
When you know it's a lie, lie, lie
Wild with a blackberry
bush
There were blossoms of cherries to crush
There, at the edge of the asphalt tempting
fingertips
They stain your hand, press too hard
They'll colour your lips
But
the flavour is
Tart
And the flavour is
Tart
Is it something you crave?
'Cos you
say that you only feel bitterness
Would it kill you to show us a little
sweetness?
Repeat chorus
Odd, where nothing else grows
It was something like
love that she chose
Always a creature of habit
When pity would do
She wore down that
heel with no feeling
She kept on her shoes
Repeat chorus
Nylon was hung from a
peg
And a kohl black seam ran down her leg
Fishermen look for their nets
And send their
regrets
The bug lay there broken
She spoke, "Is this some kind of joke?"
But the
flavour is
