Sour Milk-cow Blues Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Sour Milk-cow Blues Lyrics

    You like coffee and you like tea
    Much more than you like me
    And everybody says watch out yeah
    For the sour milk-cow blues
    You like your coffee just a little too sweet
    Without your sugar life is incomplete
    And everybody says watch out yeah
    For the sour milk-cow blues

    I think about you everyday
    Something about you is not the same
    Something about the things you say
    Sounds like a different woman with a different name
    Sour milk-cow blues

    You wear a different size and style of shoe
    I think that someone must be poisoning you
    To replace you with a living double
    Get out of my life right now and save them all of the trouble
    They changed your complexion and your personality
    Somebody's putting ideas in your head
    They took the girl of my dreams and left you here instead
    Sour milk-cow blues

    You take your place in this parade of pleas
    You dial a number and they offer relief
    All alone with just your own device
    They give you something and it isn't advice
    To break the hearts of a million listeners
    Start out as lovers and you end up as prisoners
    Somebody's suffering from the things that you do
    Somebody's suffering but you're glad it isn't you
    Put your fingertips up to the screen
    Repeat after me, wake at the count of three
    Now i don't know which is worse
    What they're doing to you or what you're doing to me
    Sour milk-cow blues
