Elvis Costello - "Jacksons, Monk and Rowe" Live 1993 With the Brodsky Quartet, from the album The Juliet Letters.
Lest you think this is a mellow (More) With the Brodsky Quartet, from the album The Juliet Letters.
Lest you think this is a mellow Costello, note the ferocity of his delivery on the lines "the heads we'd smash right off your dolls." The moment reminds you that this is the same guy who spewed "I want to bite the hand that feeds me" 15 years before this clip and "tear off your own head -- it's a doll revolution" 9 years after.
Elvis writes in the liner notes to The Juliet Letters: "(It) is the name of a firm of solicitors which reoccurs as a motif among images of both childhood and adult disillusionment."
Sisters 4 and Brothers 3
Hanging off the family tree
Practising for getting old
Do you want your fortune told
They're looking for you high and low
Now there's nowhere for you to go
So you'll just have to come out and face the music
Jacksons, Monk and Rowe
Long ago when we were kids and we cut your hair to bits
As we carried off like spoils the heads we'd smash right off
your dolls
But the wind is changing you know
Are you sure of your friends and your foe
Have you got what it takes to carry it off
Jacksons, Monk and Rowe
As the sun beats down and life begins to complicate
Will we both incinerate
If we touch that brass name-plate
Messrs. All, noble Sirs
Highly paid solicitors
Find enclosed my signed divorce
Sad proceedings you endorse
The burden of pity will show
In the people we used to know
Have you got enough strength to carry it off
Jacksons, Monk and Rowe (Less)
