Elvis Costello – Welcome To The Working Week Lyrics 9 years ago
First 2 lines are probably about him getting his picture in the paper as a promising/upcoming musician. And ironically about girls touching themselves to his pic.

The rest of the song is a him describing the conversation he has with his dual states of being. The kid from a humble background with dreams of the city that he's read about. Then he makes it, and the city carries him away in parties and drink ("spend all your money gettin' so convinced") that he never really has time to take in the city in any meaningful way.

He's having trouble juggling the many sides of himself.

Most of the lines are probably just tossed off casually. The lyrics really aren't worth anyone's focus.

He doesn't have a coherent narrative to put forth so he relies on scattered impressions. The song isn't meant to be understood. And besides, what's so bad about being a prostitute?
