Big Sisters Clothes Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Big Sisters Clothes Lyrics

    Sheep to the slaughter oh i thought this must be love
    All your sons and daughters in a strangle hold with a kid glove
    She's got eyes like saucers oh you think she's a dish
    She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish

    Chorus:
    But it's easier to say "i love you,"
    Than "yours sincerly" i suppose
    All little sisters like to try on big sister's clothes
    Big sister's clothes

    The sport of kings, the old queen's heart
    The prince in darkness stole some tart
    And it's in the papers, it's in the charts
    It's in the stop press before it all starts.

    With a hammer on the slap and tickle under grisly garments
    With all the style and finesse of the purchase of armaments
    Compassion went out of fashion
    That's all your concern meant
    Sweat it out for thirty seconds on home improvements

    Chorus
