Big Sister Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Big Sister Lyrics

    Sheep to the slaughter
    Oh, this must be love
    All your sons and daughters in a strangle, all with a kid glove
    Eyes like saucers; oh, you think she's a dish
    She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish

    Big sister will be watching over you
    Sister see, sister do
    She's got to save me
    She's got you playing russian roulette
    Sport of kings, the old queen's heart
    The prince of darkness stole some tart
    It's in the papers, it's in the charts
    It's in the stop press before it all starts

    With a hammer and a slap 'n' tickle in inquisitive garments
    With all the style and [?] purchase of armaments
    Compassion went out of fashion, that's all your concernment
    Sweat it out for thirty seconds on all the prudeness

    Big sister will be watching over you
    Sister see, sister do
    She's got to save me
    She's got you playing russian roulette
    She's got to save me
    She's got you playing russian roulette
