Sour Milk-cow Blues Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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 

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 

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 

Sour milk-cow blues 

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 

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 

Sour milk-cow blues

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

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 

Sour milk-cow blues
