We need to start producing original songs soon...but before doing that I wanted the kids to see how much a three-minute song can say and mean, and I don't know a rock song that says and means more than "Veronica," which exists because Elvis Costello's grandmother had alzheimers.

It sounds like she was a very neat person.

Veronica
by Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello

Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
What goes on in that place in the dark?
Well I used to know a girl and I could have sworn
that her name was Veronica
Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own
and a delicate look in her eye
These days I'm afraid she's not even sure if her name is Veronica

Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those who shout
her name and steal her clothes.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica

Did the days drag by? Did the favours wane?
Did he roam down the town all the while?
Did you wake from your dream with a wolf at
the door reaching out for Veronica?
Well it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
With a picture of Veronica

On the "Empress of India"
And as she closed her eyes upon the world and
picked upon the bones of last week's news
She spoke his name out loud again

Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those who shout her name and steal her clothes.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica

Veronica sits in her favorite chair
She sits very quiet and still
And they call her a name that they never get
right and if they don't then nobody else will

But she used to have a carefree mind of her own
with a devilish look in her eye
Saying you can call me anything you like
but my name is Veronica

Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those who shout
her name and steal her clothes.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica
