Big Sister's Clothes Lyrics
Sheep to the slaughter oh I thought this must be love
All your sons and daughters in a strangle hold with a kid glove She's got eyes like saucers oh you think she's a dish She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish Chorus: But it's easier to say "I love you," than "Yours sincerly" I suppose All little sisters like to try on big sister's clothes Big sister's clothes The sport of kings, the old queen's heart The prince in darkness stole some tart And it's in the papers, it's in the charts It's in the stop press before it all starts. With a hammer on the slap and tickle under grisly garments With all the style and finesse of the purchase of armaments Compassion went out of fashion That's all your concern meant Sweat it out for thirty seconds on home improvements The sport of kings, the old queen's heart The prince in darkness stole some tart And it's in the papers, it's in the charts It's in the stop press before it all starts.

Clearly he seems to be commenting on a woman that has no feeling - "with all the style and finesse of the purchase of armaments" and "Compassion went out of fashion" indicates that he thought she was a "dish" but she is cold. She doesn't like sex - she "sweats it out for thirty seconds". The area I haven't figured out is what the big sister has to do with it yet. The song "Big Sister" seems to mention that the younger sister does what the older sister does or maybe, she is flirting with Elvis as a jealousy thing. Happened to me --younger sister flirts with older sister's boyfriend. Maybe the song is about the guy that is attracted to the younger sister...."she is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish" (older sister). Great melody!

I can't explain it, but EC himself wrote it in response to the Falklands. The BBC version has it paired with "Stand Down Margret".

"She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish"
"All little sisters like to try on big sister's clothes
Big sister's clothes"
"With all the style and finesse of the purchase of armaments"
Countries wanting to build their own nuclear bombs
"Sweat it out for thirty seconds on home improvements"
"It's in the stop press before it all starts"
The reality of this proliferation
