So Like Candy — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Here lies the powder and perfume

The pretty clothes are scattered round the room

And its so like candy



Here lies the lipstick and the face

The coloured tablets keep it all in place

And its so like candy

So like candy



Chorus

What did I do to make her go

Why must she be the one

That I have to love

So like candy



Here lies a picture of a girl

Her arms are tight around that lucky guy

And its so like candy



And in her eyes a certain look

I thought Id seen the last of long ago

And its so like candy

So like candy



Chorus



I remember the day that picture was taken

We were so happy then

But thats so like candy

She seemed so sweet to me I was mistaken

Oh no not that again

But thats so like candy

She just cant face the day

So she turns and melts away



Here lie the records that she scratched

And on the sleeve I find a note attached

And its so like candy

"my darling dear its such a waste"

She couldnt say "goodbye", but "i admire your taste"

And its so like candy

So like candy
