This song is not only totally bitchen . . . . but I think it is good luck . . . . I have won about $600 playing online poker in the past 45 minutes . . . . Thanks Elvis!
This has always been one of my favorite song by Costello. I love this arrangement of the song with the traditional Irish musicians. He sounds great with uillean pipes.
I lived and grew up only a mile or two from the Cadbury's factory in Moreton before we moved away. This song really sums up what the place was like in the 70's-80s. Very Irish and quite run down but being flooded with scum. A real shame...
E.C. moved there from Southport, I think. There were nice bits of it too, like his area! It's changed now and I think Cadbury's has either gone or on a very limited staff. Fantastic song by Mr Costello, and a treat to hear it live. Thanks for posting it!
Has anyone else noticed that this song is very similar to Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon?
