《Sulphur to Sugarcane(Album Version)》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:25] Go east to Mississippi

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

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

[00:02:31] Throw open your purse

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

[00:02:36] Go to Alabama

[00:02:38] Escape Louisiana

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

[00:02:43] North and South Carolina

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

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

[00:02:49] The woman in Poughkeepsie

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:43] Here in Bloomington Indiana

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:52] Up in Syracuse

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

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

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

[00:05:01] Down in Bridgeport

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

[00:05:05] But inWorcester Massachusetts

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

[00:05:09] The woman in Poughkeepsie

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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