Lyrics Big Sister - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Big Sister

Sheep to the slaughter
Oh, this must be love
All your sons and daughters in a strangle, all with a kid glove
Eyes like saucers;
oh, you think shes a dish
She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish
Big sister will be watching over you
Sister see, sister do Shes got to save me Shes got you playing russian roulette
Sport of kings, the old queens heart
The prince of darkness stole some tart
Its in the papers, its in the charts
Its in the stop press before it all starts
With a hammer and a slap n tickle in inquisitive garments
With all the style and purchase of armaments
Compassion went out of fashion, thats all your concernment
Sweat it out for thirty seconds on all the prudeness
Big sister will be watching over you
Sister see, sister do Shes got to save me Shes got you playing russian roulette
Shes got to save me Shes got you playing russian roulette
