What Are The Lyrics For Sulphur to Sugarcane By Elvis Costello?
It's not very far from sulfur to sugar cane
Everywhere I travel pretty girls call my name I give them a squeeze and they shoot me a wink I buy their hard-headed husbands a long cool drink You better come up smelling sweet 'cos you're a long time stinking It's a little too late to complain It's not very far from sulfur to sugar cane Now if you catch my eye and it seems to run down your leg It's like striking a match pretty hard upon a powder keg They tell you from the borders to the waters of the gulf If you take all the sugar you will end up in the sulfur And you're burning Hello baby I'm pleased to meet ya I wouldn't do you wrong, honey I wouldn't cheat ya, honey When can I see you again? Wrap you up in cellophane It's not very far from sulfur to sugar cane It's not very far from sulfur to sugar cane Then your eyes fill up with brine When you're drowning in wine It's like the last days of Rome With the despots and divine And there's no place like home for a little doll from China It's a little too late to complain It's not very far from sulfur to sugar cane You can go west to Texas Go east to Mississippi You can run out of money You can run out of pity Throw open your purse until you're crying for mercy Go to Alabama Escape Louisiana I'm digging like a miner North and South Carolina And then if you continue you will end up in Virginia |
