a pair of brown eyes



With a nod, perhaps, to Van; porcine, disagreeable bastard that he is (albeit quite excellent). If you've ever seen the video for this one you might recall Shane MacGowan scrabbling in a trench puddle for his eyes. Or is that just a figment of a whiskey fueled half life ? I can no longer remember.

Where are my reading glasses ? I am feeding the seagulls.

Recorded at Elephant Studios, London. Produced by Elvis Costello.
