Costello, Elvis - Sweet Pear Lyrics
Sweet pear, sweet pear
Those who say they love you would never dare
I'll watch out for you
I'll always be there
In the hour of distress you need not fear
And finding it's hard enough
I bless whatever's in the sky above
For bringing you to me
But there's a void without your kiss
I wake on the precipice above the abyss
And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss
Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with
Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong
And now you're back where I pretend you belong
I wonder every night and day
How long
I swear this is my prayer
till we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere
Or lost in the world across a crowded room
I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom

Costello, Elvis Sweet Pear Comments
This is the better Beach Boys pastiche on the album. EC does such a good Carl Wilson in this song.

2 Theresa ' 07. U were my sweet pear. I love u always, no matter the years or the distance.
I think Elvis might be singing this song to God.
His ex wife wrote, this I believe.... perhaps why we never hear it concert???? Regardless, I LOVE this song so very, very much.
That would be like naming your favorite Beatles tune. Tooooo hard! I will say it has a magnificent guitar solo that I never get tired of.
Agree with you John about the guitar solo! I often catch myself humming it.
Possibly his best tune? Possibly his best album. Discuss. 🙂
Possibly. "All this Useless Beauty" is a masterpiece.
For me best album, not best song though.
We all have our own opinions.
Personally,I liked this album. And Sweet Pear is a great song,yes. But I loved Spike more.
Any Kings Shilling my personal favourite.
Matter of taste, for me My Aim is True, still the best. This song though als great....!
Richie Kotzen brought me here too.
俺には名曲。 ギターソロ泣かせる。
