Sulky Girl - Costello Elvis



She wears a wedding ring her sister lent

To throw them off the scent

Just let them guess; it's what they expect

Who in the world has bitten her neck?

She's discovered wearing last night's dress

The carnal and cunning she couldn't express

Who do you think she's trying to impress



Chorus:

I think you'd better hold your tongue

Although you've never been that strong

I'm sorry to say that I knew all along

You're no match for that sulky girl



She left her European town

Before she let the family down

She couldn't stand the massacre game

So she dyed her hair, adopted another name

With the evidence of passing out

Stamped on her hand; she glows in the dark

He thinks she's from another planet



So,

-chorus-



Sulky girl

I'm sure you look a picture when you cry

Threatening the silent treatment doesn't qualify

It's like money in the bank

Your expression is blank

And when a chance appears

You'll be nearer to tears

Sulky girl (x2)



He said "Hello my pretty flower"

Just trying out his tycoon power

Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare

She said "Your're mistaken

Your money's no good in here"

Just some stupid little know-it-all

You thought she looked easy

He's not that astute

You'll pay for the distance

Between cruelty and beauty



-chorus-



I won't tell you again

What do you gain by blackening her name

She's smarter than you

Oh isn't it a shame

You're going to lose that sulky girl



Sulky girl

I saw you practicing your blackmail faces

Suddenly you're talking like a dutchess

But you're still a waitress

I saw through your pretense

But in my defence

There are a few events

I think will spell the sentence

Sulky girl (x4)
