Me and Magdalena

Me and Magdalena

verse

Me and Magdalena

We′re driving south through Monterey

As the sun is slowly sinking

Into a distant ocean wave

chorus

And I don’t know if I′ve ever loved any other

Half as much as I do in this light she’s under

verse

Tell me, Magdalena

What do you see in the depths of your night?

Do you see a long-lost father?

Does he hold you with the hands you remember as a child?

chorus

But know everything lost will be recovered

When you drift into the arms of the undiscovered

And I don’t know if I′ve ever loved any other

Half as much as I do in this light she′s under

bridge

Me and Magdalena

Always leaving early and sleeping late

Secluded in the canyon

Lost within a turn of fate

chorus

But know everything lost will be recovered

When you drift into the arms of the undiscovered

And I don’t know if I′ve ever loved any other

Half as much as I do in this light she’s under

Oliver’s Army by Elvis Costello


Don’t start me talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I’m putting the world to right

Called careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?

Oliver’s army is here to stay
Oliver’s army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn’t crack a smile
But it’s no laughing party
When you’ve been on the murder mile

Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger

(Chorus)

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there’s no danger
It’s a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill’s ear

If you’re out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
