Hoover Factory Lyrics by Elvis Costello
Album : Taking Liberties , Get Happy!!
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 you'd agree if you had seen it too
It's not a matter of life or death
But what is, what is?
It doesn't 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 you'd agree if you had seen it too
It's not a matter of life or death
But what is, what is?
It doesn't matter if I take another breath
Who cares? Who cares?
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 you'd agree if you had seen it too    It's not a matter of life or death    But what is, what is?   It doesn't 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 you'd agree if you had seen it too    It's not a matter of life or death    But what is, what is?   It doesn't matter if I take another breath    Who cares?
