Elvis Costello - Rocking Horse Road (Brutal Youth)

The chains from the bridle and the reins fell from my hands
The engines are idle and the ship sails on dry land
I stood there stupefied, I thought I recognized
Walking down Rocking Horse Road, getting lost

Shot through Vaseline, he picks up the paper from the lawn
And tucks "The Suburban Assassin" underneath his arm
He smiles weakly and turns away
I know you'll never come to harm
Walking down Rocking Horse Road, it's so peaceful

It's like a photograph
From the other side of the world
I said "I want you only"
And then I left you alone
Crying on Rocking Horse Road, or somewhere quite like it

The cemetery gardens, there are names not numbers on the gateposts
And the eyes in the curtain follow you like a smirking ghost
I know I must not look back
'Cause part of me is waiting still

There on Rocking Horse Road for you
In a little dream house made for two
Well you were the one that made your escape
In your stocking feet and your sticky tape

All the way down [repeat to fade]

This has always been one of my favorite song by Costello. I love this arrangement of the song with the traditional Irish musicians. He sounds great with uillean pipes.

I lived and grew up only a mile or two from the Cadbury's factory in Moreton before we moved away. This song really sums up what the place was like in the 70's-80s. Very Irish and quite run down but being flooded with scum. A real shame... E.C. moved there from Southport, I think. There were nice bits of it too, like his area! It's changed now and I think Cadbury's has either gone or on a very limited staff. Fantastic song by Mr Costello, and a treat to hear it live. Thanks for posting it!
