[Verse]
You're a swine and I'm saying that's an insult to the pig
In the foul furrow that you dig
Why don't you lay your head down
In that unconsecrated ground
Well, was she your mother?
Or was she your bride?
To defile and to blister
To gnaw at her side
Is this the end of the world?
Now that you've finished your life
This riddle is the work of my little pen-knife
Swine was written by Elvis Costello & Paul Cassidy.
Swine was produced by Kevin Killen & Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet.
Elvis Costello released Swine on Tue Jan 19 1993.
From Elvis Costello’s liner notes:
The ‘letter’ in ‘Swine’ takes a more unusual form, being a piece of deranged, political graffiti carved on a wooden door.
