Costello, Elvis - Big Sister's 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
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 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]

Costello, Elvis Big Sister's Clothes Comments
Elvis is King~!
He should said "Fashion went out of Fashion" instead of compassion
I thought it said “passion went out of fashion” and liked it better that way, but what you’re proposing is very funny and fits with the song
My favorite Elvis Costello song of them all...brilliant record
With a hammer on the slap and tickle
Under grizzly garments
With all the style and finesse
Of the purchase of armaments
Vas-y Elvis bordel !

She's got eyes like saucers. You think she's a dish.
His best album, I think: his voice, the music, the arrangements. and still some of the frenzied passion of the first few albums.
Damn! Great song! I remember my parents playing this one in the car when I was young, God the nostalgia is overwhelming....
