A Town Called Big Nothing (Really Big Nothing) Lyrics

Cover art for A Town Called Big Nothing (Really Big Nothing) lyrics by Elvis Costello

I LOVE this song - it's hilarious. A parody of an old western with very funny lines like

"He didn't need tattoos to show where he'd been And who he'd loved. It was the same thing that men had cried for; That women had dyed their hair for."

and "She took him to bed like an adopted dog."

THe music reminds me of the tough guy in the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns - but it's almost cancelled out by the funny imagery of the lyrics.
