Elvis Costello - Tart Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Hear silver trumpets will trill in Arabic streets of Seville
  • Oranges roll in the gutter
  • And you pick them up
  • And peel back the skin
  • To the red fruit within
  • But the flavour is
  • Tart
  • And the flavour is
  • Tart
  • Is it something you crave?
  • And you say that you only feel bitterness
  • When you know it's a lie, lie, lie
  • Wild with a blackberry bush
  • There were blossoms of cherries to crush
  • There, at the edge of the asphalt tempting fingertips
  • They stain your hand, press too hard
  • They'll colour your lips
  • But the flavour is
  • Tart
  • And the flavour is
  • Tart
  • Is it something you crave?
  • 'Cos you say that you only feel bitterness
  • Would it kill you to show us a little sweetness?
  • Repeat chorus
  • Odd, where nothing else grows
  • It was something like love that she chose
  • Always a creature of habit
  • When pity would do
  • She wore down that heel with no feeling
  • She kept on her shoes
  • Repeat chorus
  • Nylon was hung from a peg
  • And a kohl black seam ran down her leg
  • Fishermen look for their nets
  • And send their regrets
  • The bug lay there broken
  • She spoke, "Is this some kind of joke?"
  • But the flavour is
  • Tart
