Jacksons Monk And Rowe Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Jacksons Monk And Rowe Lyrics

    Sister 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
