Your Sister's Clothes Lyrics

I never thought that you would come
Your sister said your nerve had gone
You're trying to make it straight right now
But I don't think that you know how
Your sister knows
She wears your clothes
She laughs at all those things you choose
Your sister knows
Takes off your clothes
We use your bed for goodness knows

I left something where I knew you'd find it
Lift your pillow and you'll see

And he's coming round today
Hey hey
Check out if you're still alive
Talking dirt won't change your life
Listen hard and you can hear her saying not to be so afraid
Loosen up and lay right down
Watch her as she's going down
It's easy when you stop pretending that you just got lost on the way

I can't remember where we met
I can't remember what she said
I can't forget the things we did
When everything just seemed to fit

Your sister knows
She wears your clothes
She laughs at all those things you choose
Your sister knows
Takes off your clothes
We use your bed for goodness knows

She's says it's better with two
If you'd just stop being so stuck up

And he's coming round today
Hey hey
Check out if you're still alive
Talking dirt won't change your life
Listen hard and you can hear her saying not to be so afraid
Loosen up and lay right down
Watch her as she's going down
It's easy when you stop pretending that you just got lost on the way

Try it, you might like it
But you might smudge your lipstick

And he's coming round today
Hey hey
Check out if you're still alive
Talking dirt won't change your life
Listen hard and you can hear her saying not to be so afraid
Loosen up and lay right down
Watch her as she's going down
It's easy when you stop pretending that you just got lost on the way
It's easy when you stop pretending that you'll never ever see her
Yeah you've seen her going down (and down and down and down and down)

Jarvis said this song is about the sisters from "Babies" some years down the line...

"Watch her as she's going down / it's easy when you stop pretending / that you just got lost on the way" & "Try it; you might like it / but you might smudge your lipstick" So perfectly dirty. Brilliant.

This is my favorite Pulp song for the orchestration... the descending strings, the screaming synth (with the arpegiated piano and sawtooth bass towards the end), the strong (as always) bass line... that the lyrics crack me up (as always) and seriously confuse friends when I play it and they catch snippets of the lyrics just adds to its greatness !!
