Sister 4 and Brothers 3
Hanging off the family tree
Practising for getting old
Do you want your fortune told
They're looking for you high and low
Now there's nowhere for you to go
So you'll just have to come out and face the music
Jacksons, Monk and Rowe
Long ago when we were kids and we cut your hair to bits
As we carried off like spoils the heads we'd smash right off
your dolls
But the wind is changing you know
Are you sure of your friends and your foe
Have you got what it takes to carry it off
Jacksons, Monk and Rowe
As the sun beats down and life begins to complicate
Will we both incinerate
If we touch that brass name-plate
Messrs. All, noble Sirs
Highly paid solicitors
Find enclosed my signed divorce
Sad proceedings you endorse
The burden of pity will show
In the people we used to know
Have you got enough strength to carry it off
Jacksons, Monk and Rowe
The lyrics JACKSONS, MONK AND ROWE of ELVIS COSTELLO is also present in the album The juliet letters (1993)
Elvis Costello, pseudonimo di Declan Patrick MacManus (Londra, 25 agosto 1954), è un cantautore, chitarrista e compositore britannico considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica pop-rock degli ultimi decenni. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni settanta come esponente della scena pub rock londinese, prima che il suo nome venisse associato ai movimenti punk e new wave della seconda metà degli anni '70. Costello è noto per le sue canzoni intelligenti, spesso caratterizzate da testi sarcastici e ironici, che affrontano temi sociali, politici e personali con una profonda sensibilità. La sua musica combina elementi di rock, pop, folk, jazz e reggae, creando un sound unico e riconoscibile. Tra i suoi album più importanti figurano *My Aim Is True* (1977), *This Year's Model* (1978) e *Armed Forces* (1979). Costello ha collaborato con numerosi artisti di fama internazionale, tra cui The Attractions, Burt Bacharach e Paul McCartney.
