"Elvis Impersonator: Blackpool Pier" lyrics

"Elvis Impersonator: Blackpool Pier"

Twenty foot high on Blackpool promenade
Fake royalty second hand sequin façade
Limited face paint and dyed black quiff
Overweight and out of date

Twenty foot high on Blackpool promenade
Fake royalty second hand sequin façade
Limited face paint and dyed black quiff
Overweight and out of date

American trilogy in Lancashire pottery
American trilogy in Lancashire pottery

Is so fucking funny, don't you know
Is so fucking funny, don't you know

All American trilogy in used up cars and bottled beer
All American trilogy the futures dead, fundamentally

It's so fucking funny, it's absurd
It's so fucking funny, it's absurd
Twenty foot high on Blackpool promenade

I wish I was in Dixie
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie land, I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
