Sulky Girl — текст песни (Elvis Costello)





She wears a wedding ring her sister lent

To throw them off the scent

Just let them guess, its what they expect

Who in the world has bitten her neck?

Shes discovered wearing last nights dress

The carnal and cunning, she couldnt express

Who do you think shes trying to impress?



Chorus:

I think youd better hold your tongue

Although youve never been that strong

Im sorry to say that I knew all along

Youre no match for that sulky girl



She left her european town

Before she let the family down

She couldnt stand the massacre game

So she dyed her hair and adopted another name

With the evidence of passing out stamped on her hand

She glows in the dark

He thinks shes from another planet



Chorus



Sulky girl

Im sure you look a picture when you cry

Threatening the silent treatment doesnt qualify

Its like money in the bank

Your expression is blank

But while the chance appears

Youll be nearer to tears

Sulky girl [2x]



He said "hello, my pretty flower"

Just trying out his tycoon power

Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare

She said "youre mistaken, your moneys no good in here"

Just some stupid little know-it-all

Who thought she looked easy; hes not that astute

Hell pay for the distance

Between cruelty and beauty



Chorus



So I wont tell you again

What do you gain

By blackening her name

Shes smarter than you

Oh isnt it a shame

Youre gonna lose that sulky girl



Sulky girl

I saw you practising your blackmail faces

Suddenly youre talking like a duchess

But youre still a waitress

I saw through your pretence

But in my defence

There are a few events

I think will spare the censor

Sulky girl [4x]
