Lyric discussion by FLY2venus 

Is this autobiographical... "You were a spoilt child then with a record to plug" --?
Or is this about someone else - a rich dude marrying a pretty young thing who came from nothing? I don't know much about Elvis Costello's personal life except that his real name is Decclan McMannus (sorry if I misspelled it). I am a fan but never thought to learn his life history. Just listen to the music and WONDER what the hell the lyrics mean. The mysterious Mr McMannus!!
