Elvis Costello - Tart

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 flavor is...
Tart
And the flavor 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 hands, press too hard
They'll color your lips...

But the flavor is...
Tart
And the flavor 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 flavor is...
Tart

Haunting, that is a good description. For me , this song is the essence of Elvis, one of my favorites by far. This song really moves in a slow but rhythmic way, and with that killer voice, it is truly a treasure. Thank you for posting this. Viva Elvis!!!

Always,find it hard to believe that great songs like this one, and MANY of his others, are basically unheard of ,outside of the fan base. Yet, in my opinion, worse songs ,like teddy bear and blue suede shoes ,are worldly known .! just cant understand it !

RCA blew many opportunities to release some really good songs off numerous albums. I don't understand why they released so much junk when Elvis recorded so many masterpieces. Elvis is and will always be the most talented vocalist in the history of music. Wish he were still here!
