Lyrics Lloyd Cole – Tell Your Sister

I’ve got a little piece of paper with your name written on it
I’ve got a head full of attitude and nowhere to put it
Tell me, why don’t you come down to Ruemorgue Avenue
Why don’t you come down

Well there’s a chapel on the corner where I’m doing my crying
There’s a limit to my patience, what do you say, Fay, let’s get married
Down on Ruemorgue Avenue

They say the world keeps on turning, and everything remains the same
Well my heart’s burning and I say everything must change
Why don’t you come down to Ruemorgue Avenue
Why don’t you come down
Soil your pretty feet on the dirty ground of Ruemorgue Avenue

Rita Mae, tell your sister she’s unkind
Tell your sister, well, I don’t mind
Tell your sister, she’s got mine

I got a four letter word, starts with the letter L
Can’t bring myself to say it because it’s making my life hell
Why don’t you come down to rue morgue avenue
Because I’ve been drinking all night and all day
Just trying to picture your sweet face
Down on Ruemorgue Avenue

Rita Mae, tell your sister she’s unkind
Tell your sister, well, I don’t mind
Tell your sister, she knows where, where I lie
Down on Ruemorgue Avenue
