Elvis Costello - Sulky Girl 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 Sulky girl (x4 |
