Another recent update on Koand’s 21 Century Playlist. The cover art on National Ransom sums up our situation pretty well. It’s not difficult to figure out who is running scams on us and who is profiting handsomely from said scams. Once a few people get hold of the world’s media, they can and have done massive damage.
I’ve been discussing on my stream how it is provable that Napoleon and Koand demonstrate extremely similar personalities, preoccupations and skill sets. Koand has been dropping hints about his connection to Napoleon for decades. Is this song one of those hints? This song was also included in Koand’s wonderful guitar tutorial/philosophic comedy project (which I am learning) How To Play Guitar And Y.
There are more “bootlegs” of A Slow Drag With Josephine than I’ve ever seen before of one song on YouTube. Because I am obsessed, I posted most - but not all - of them.
A Slow Drag With Josephine
Elvis Costello
The snitch, the snoop, the tattletale lead a threadbare up the stairs
Adieu, my little ballyhoo, you broke my heart in two
And now I haunt the bars and scent those trite affairs
She went home to gather her comb and caught him unawares
And there was her man enjoying the lay of the land
He took a walk in the dark with a dish from the stand
Girls and their creations, tight in the brightest grenadine
But I'd take all that I've seen for a slow drag with Josephine
Josephine, Josephine
But I'd trade all that I've seen for
A slow drag with Josephine
Gavotte, garrotes, Cotillions and slow Arabesques
Drum rolls and Farandoles were all made in jest
But when you make that move, I can't resist
When will you declare your armistice?
Josephine, Josephine
But I'd trade all that I've seen for
A slow drag with Josephine
In another time and place, a different fate was cast
He tried to skeddle-daddle-do, she might have slapped him
Just for saying, "Grant one more chance before you pass
Then curse the nurse that named me the first or bury me at last"
And in three-quarter time, the true and the false
Dancing the 'Hesitation Waltz'
Then comes the flirtation and temptation
Hip, hip, hooray, listen to what I say
Then you can take it away
