Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Her hair
Soft drifted snow
Death white
I'd like to know
Why she hates all that she does
But she gives it all that she's got
[PreChorus]
Until the sky turns green
The grass is several shades of blue
Every member of parliament trips on glue
[PreChorus]
Until the sky turns green
And the grass is several shades of blue
Every member of parliament trips on glue
[Chorus]
It takes all these things and all that time
Till my sugar spun sister's happy with this love of mine
It'll take all these things and, oh, much more
[Verse 2]
I've paid
For fifteen or more
But my guts
Can't take many more
My hands are stuck to my jeans
And she knows, she knows what this must mean
[PreChorus]
She wakes up with the sun
She asked, "Me, what is all the fuss?"
As she gave me more than she thought she should
She wakes up with the sun
I think, "What have I done?"
As I gave her more than I thought I would
Oh
[Chorus]
It takes all these things and all that time
Till my sugar spun sister's happy with this love of mine
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
The candy-floss girl
The sticky-fingered boy
Oh, that sister of mine
Yeah
