Senior Service Lyrics

Are these merely the lyrics Costello submitted for the lyric sheet?

I want your neck I want the seat that you sit at I want your check Because they told me I would get on

If so, he was particularly clever getting past Standards and Practices (or whatever the censor at a major record label is called). ‘Cause it sounds more as if he’s singing:

I want your dick [...] I want your chick

Not as if it isn’t clear enough, either way: all this is about more than wanting to get it up higher on the company ladder.

@mandc You need to have your ears checked!
