Hoover Factory - Elvis Costello

Five miles out of london on the western avenue

Must have been a wonder when it was brand new

Talkin bout the splendour of the hoover factory

I know that youd agree if you had seen it too

Its not a matter of life or death

But what is, what is?

It doesnt matter if I take another breath

Who cares?

who cares?

Green for go, green for action

From park royal to north acton

Past scrolls and inscriptions like those of the egyptian age

And one of these days the hoover factory

Is gonna be all the rage in those fashionable pages

Five miles out of london on the western avenue

Must have been a wonder when it was brand new

Talkin bout the splendour of the hoover factory

I know that youd agree if you had seen it too

Its not a matter of life or death

But what is, what is?

It doesnt matter if I take another breath

Who cares?

who cares?
