VINTAGE (CXXXIX)

 

Elvis Costello - "Pills And Soap" 

"When England was the whore of the world Margaret was her madam" (VI)

(noutra versão aqui)

The sugar coated pill is getting bitterer still
YOU THINK YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU
BUT YOU KNOW IT NEVER WILL
So pack up your troubles in a stolen handbag
DON'T DILLY DALLY BOYS
RALLY ROUND THE FLAG
Give us your daily bread in individual slices
And something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis
