Sulphur to Sugarcane (Album Version) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:00:04]

Everywhere I travel pretty girls call my name[00:00:13]

I give 'em as squeeze and they shoot me a wink[00:00:21]

I buy their hot-headed husbands a long cool drink[00:00:25]

You'd better come up smelling sweet[00:00:29]

'Cos you're a long time stinking[00:00:31]

Then it's a little too late to complain[00:00:35]

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:00:39]

Now if you catch my eye[00:00:47]

And you find that it runs down your leg[00:00:49]

It's like striking a match pretty hard upon a powder keg[00:00:55]

They'll tell you from the borders to the waters in the Gulf[00:01:04]

And if you take all the sugar you'll end up in the sulphur[00:01:08]

And you'll burn in [00:01:13]

"Hello baby I'm a pleased to meet you"[00:01:14]

"I wouldn't do you wrong honey"[00:01:18]

"I wouldn't cheat you honey'"[00:01:20]

"When can I see you again "[00:01:22]

"Wrap you up in cellophane"[00:01:26]

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane [00:01:30]

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane [00:01:39]

And your eyes fill up with brine[00:01:48]

Because you're drowning in wine[00:01:52]

It's like the last days of Rome[00:01:56]

With the despots and divine[00:02:01]

There's no place like home[00:02:06]

For a little doll from China[00:02:08]

It's a little too late to complain[00:02:10]

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:02:15]

You can go west to Texas[00:02:23]

Go east to Mississippi[00:02:25]

You can run out of money[00:02:27]

You can run out of pity[00:02:29]

Throw open your purse[00:02:31]

Until you're crying for mercy[00:02:34]

Go to Alabama[00:02:36]

Escape Louisiana[00:02:38]

I'm digging like a miner[00:02:41]

North and South Carolina[00:02:43]

And then if you continue[00:02:44]

You will end up in Virginia[00:02:47]

The woman in Poughkeepsie[00:02:49]

Take their clothes off when they're tipsy[00:02:51]

But in Albany New York[00:02:53]

They love the filthy way I talk[00:02:55]

As they gargle with the finest champagne[00:02:58]

When they can't get the grape or the grain[00:03:02]

'Cos it's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:03:07]

'Cos it's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:03:33]

If I could find a piano[00:03:42]

Here in Bloomington Indiana[00:03:43]

I would play it with my toes[00:03:46]

Until the girls all take their clothes off[00:03:48]

Woman knock upon my door[00:03:50]

In odd and even numbers[00:03:52]

But none of them as wild as I discovered in Columbus[00:03:55]

I gave up married women[00:03:59]

'Cause I heard it was a sin[00:04:01]

But now I'm back in Pittsburgh [00:04:04]

I might take them up again[00:04:06]

Because they gargle with the finest champagne[00:04:08]

When they can't get the grape or the grain[00:04:12]

'Cos it's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:04:17]

'Cos it's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:04:43]

Up in Syracuse[00:04:52]

I was once falsely accused[00:04:53]

But I'm not here to hurt you[00:04:56]

I'm here to steal your[00:04:58]

Down in Bridgeport[00:05:01]

The woman will kill you for sport[00:05:02]

But inWorcester Massachusetts[00:05:05]

They just love my sauce[00:05:07]

The woman in Poughkeepsie[00:05:09]

Take their clothes off when they're tipsy[00:05:11]

But I hear in Ypsilanti[00:05:13]

They don't wear any panties [00:05:15]

Once they gargle with the finest champagne[00:05:18]

They hitch up their skirts and exclaim[00:05:23]

It's not very far Sugar[00:05:27]

It's not very far Sugar[00:05:32]

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane[00:05:41]
