Elvis Costello — Sour Milk-Cow Blues

[Verse 1] You like coffee and you like tea Much more than you like me And everybody says watch out, yeah For the sour milk-cow blues [Verse 2] You like your coffee just a little too sweet Without your sugar life is incomplete And everybody says watch out, yeah For the sour milk-cow blues [Pre-Chorus 1] I think about you everyday Something about you is not the same Something about the things you say Sounds like a different woman with a different name Oh yeah [Chorus] Sour milk-cow blues Sour milk-cow blues [Verse 3] You wear a different size and style of shoe I think that someone must be poisoning you To replace you with a living double Get out of my life right now and save them all of the trouble [Pre-Chorus 2] They changed your complexion and your personality Somebody's putting ideas in your head They took the girl of my dreams and left you here instead Oh yeah [Chorus] Sour milk-cow blues Sour milk-cow blues Oh, oh oh oh [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] You take your place in this parade of pleas You dial a number and they offer relief All alone with just your own device They give you something and it isn't advice To break the hearts of a million listeners Start out as lovers and you end up as prisoners Somebody's suffering from the things that you do Somebody's suffering but you're glad it isn't you [Pre-Chorus 3] Put your fingertips up to the screen Repeat after me, wake at the count of three Now, I don't know which is worse What they're doing to you or what you're doing to me? [Outro] Sour milk-cow blues Sour milk-cow blues Sour milk-cow blues The sour milk-cow blues
