Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate fingerprint.
Just astounding.
It’s got to be about the other Elvis right? He’s name checked and it takes about Union Ave (Memphis), Vegas and the “kings” ransom.
I think it’s about how fame destroyed ECs namesake. They committed blue murder (I.E. raised Presley to the point where the pressure was so great he ingested huge quantities of pills) and now the grave robbers are still flogging him to death with tatty souvenirs.
Either way, I love this song. Thank you again Elvis (Costello, not Presley).
