Sobre el álbum

Este álbum de 1982 es la obra cumbre del pop barroco y una de las piezas más sofisticadas y ambiciosas de la discografía de Elvis Costello. 'Imperial Bedroom' es la respuesta del artista a la etiqueta de "new wave", un trabajo de una complejidad y una riqueza musical extraordinarias. Para su producción, contó con el legendario ingeniero de los Beatles, Geoff Emerick.

El sonido del álbum es una espectacular y suntuosa mezcla de pop, de rock y de música clásica. La producción es exquisita y está llena de arreglos de cuerda, de viento, de piano y de teclados que crean un paisaje sonoro que recuerda al 'Sgt. Pepper's' o al 'Pet Sounds' de los Beach Boys. La música es a la vez bella y, a menudo, inquietante.

Las composiciones de Elvis Costello alcanzan aquí una nueva cima de sofisticación. Canciones como "Almost Blue", una balada de jazz de una belleza crepuscular, o la épica "Man Out of Time" son ejemplos de su genio como compositor. The Attractions demuestran ser una de las bandas más versátiles y talentosas de la historia, especialmente Steve Nieve con sus increíbles arreglos de teclado.

Las letras son las más densas, complejas y poéticas de su carrera hasta ese momento. Exploran el lado más oscuro y enfermizo de las relaciones con una inteligencia y una amargura que desarman. Cada frase es un juego de palabras, una puñalada o una revelación.

'Imperial Bedroom' es una pieza redonda absoluta. Es un disco que exige una escucha atenta, pero que recompensa al oyente con una belleza y una profundidad inagotables. Es el sonido de un genio del pop en la cima de su poder creativo.

Disco 1

  1. Beyond Belief2:34

    Letra

    History repeats the old conceits The glib replies the same defeats Keep your finger on important issues With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues I'm just the oily slick On the windup world of the nervous tick In a very fashionable hovel I hang around dying to be tortured You'll never be alone in the bone orchard This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel So in this almost empty gin palace Through a two-way looking glass You see your Alice You know she has no sense For all your jealousy In a sense she still smiles very sweetly Charged with insults and flattery Her body moves with malice Do you have to be so cruel to be callous And now you find you fit this identikit completely You say you have no secrets And then leave discreetly I might make it California's fault Be locked in Geneva's deepest vault Just like the canals of Mars and the great barrier reef I come to you beyond belief My hands were clammy and cunning She's been suitably stunning But I know there's not a hope in Hades All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle So-called gentlemen and ladies Dog fight like rose and thistle I've got a feeling I'm going to get a lot of grief Once this seemed so appealing Now I am beyond belief Chorus
  2. Tears Before Bedtime3:02

    Letra

    I know the name on the tip of your tongue And I know that accusing look Everybody knows I've been so wrong That's the problem and here's the hook Tears before bedtime There'll be trouble tonight I don't want to talk about it anymore I don't want to have another fight I don't want to talk I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right For the tears that you boo hoo hoo hoo There can be no defence You say you'll forgive and forget But it's only a pretence Either you can leave the past behind Or give me something to disconnect my mind I sleep with my fists clenched tight When I don't lie awake all night I guess time gave up the ghost too late And the balance of our love Very soon turns to hate Darling your suspiciousness Tortures me at night But I can't excuse the cruel words That I use whenever we fight Chorus
  3. Shabby Doll4:48

    Letra

    Giving you more of what for Always worked for me before Now I'm a shabby doll What's going on behind the green elevator door With just a shabby doll There's a hit man facing A compromising situation With just a shabby doll And a very neat line in character assassination She's just a shabby doll She's just a shabby doll She's putting him off and putting you on She's just the shabby doll You're swearing upon you know in your heart She's gone you know in your heart She's just a shabby doll There's a girl in this dress There's always a girl in distress She's just a shabby doll She's so sure she's self-possessed Then again she's half undressed She's just a shabby doll The boy that I used to be Showed no sign of sympathy For just a shabby doll I have betrayed you and me And paid for my own bribery With just a shabby doll Chorus He's the tired toy that everyone enjoyed He wants to be a fancy man but he's nothing but a nancy boy He's all pride and no joy And being what you might call a whore Always worked for me before Now I'm a shabby doll Untie the gag the cat's out of the bag But won't show his claws He's just a shabby doll She said you must be joking Some things are left unspoken You're just a shabby doll He's lying limp and soaking He was openly broken By just a shabby doll Chorus
  4. The Long Honeymoon4:15

    Letra

    All the bedroom lights go out As the neighbourhood gets quiet Everything in heaven and earth is almost right But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him He was late this time last week Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim 'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak There's been a long honeymoon She thought too late and spoke too soon There's no money back guarantee on future happiness There's been a long honeymoon If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this All the movies and the papers Feature the murders of lonely women If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend Why doesn't he come home Why does her friends phone keep on ringing Maybe she should just pretend Chorus
  5. Man Out Of Time5:27

    Letra

    So this is where he came to hide When he ran from you In a private detective's overcoat And dirty dead man's shoes The pretty things of Knightsbridge Lying for a minister of state Are a far cry from the nod and wink Here at traitor's gate 'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around To murder my love is crime But will you still love A man out of time There's a tuppeny hapenny millionaire Looking for a fourpenny one With a tight grip on the short hairs Of the public imagination But for his private wife and kids somehow Real life becomes a rumour Days of dutch courage Just three French letters and a German sense of humour He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege The biggest wheels of industry Retire sharp and short And the after dinner overtures Are nothing but an after thought Somebody's creeping in the kitchen There's a reputation to be made Whose nerves are always on a knife's edge Who's up late polishing the blade Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning
  6. Almost Blue2:50

    Letra

    Almost blue Almost doing things we used to do There's a girl here and she's almost you Almost all the things that you eyes once promised I see in him too Now your eyes are red from crying Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be Almost blue It's almost touching that we're almost through There's a part of me that's always true always All the things never come to an end now it is only a chosen few I've seen such an unhappy couple Almost me... Almost you... Almost blue.
  7. ...And In Every Home3:23

    Letra

    You turn to the sinister when you get the boot Sliding down the banister in your Sunday suit Lying on a slag heap of blankets and magazines She's only thirty-five going on seventeen You'd better roll over and go to sleep if you don't come clean And in every home there will be lots of time I will be all yours you might have been admired (And in every home there will be lots of time) They say they're very sorry but you are not desired Oh heaven preserve us Oh heaven preserve us Oh heaven preserve us Because they don't deserve us Holding your life in your hand With an artificial limp wrist And so a young blade becomes a has-been Looking for a new twist A year after the wedding he broke all their china plates He's in prison now she's running with his mates Sees him every Sunday And he asks her where she's been She's only thirty-five going on seventeen She's going to cop a packet if he ever finds her In between the sheets Chorus
  8. The Loved Ones2:48

    Letra

    Don't get smart or sarcastic He snaps back just like elastic Spare us the theatrics and the verbal gymnastics We break wise guys just like matchsticks What would the loved ones say Your pride and joy is all blown up What would the loved ones say The bride and boy are barely grown up You're not my particular poison I've got nothing against you myself You could have been a danger to the boys and girls Now you're a danger to yourself Oh what would the loved ones say What would the loved ones say Oh what would the loved ones say What would the loved ones say The ugly little scenes run round your bed The ugly little dreams you get the needle and no thread They stitched you up this time They say you'll do They bitch about your pretty face turning ugly on you The butcher the baker and the bassline maker Say you can leave her I can take her You live your whole life like a minute or two later One day its going to end sooner than greater What would the loved ones say He'll be remembered young and pretty What would the loved ones say Now he's a hit in every city Now there's a name well never forget There's one born every minute Don't pin a medal on me yet They might be waiting for you Chorus PPS I love you
  9. Human Hands2:43

    Letra

    I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me Oh darling how I miss you I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness I crave the silhouette of your kiss With only the blue light of the TV on Lip reading threats and false alarms There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt That it's you that I'm dreaming about Do I have to draw you a diagram? All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze Checkmate in three moves in your heyday But the girls don't listen to your line anymore Now you're part of someone else On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?" Now you manufacture happiness And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction Chorus All you toy soldiers and scaremongers Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all before Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly You know I love you more than slightly Although I've never said it like this before Chorus
  10. Kid About It2:45

    Letra

    He saw no tears in her eyes Say you wouldn't kid about it She's telling all of those lies She swore she'd never told before But I doubt it So he bit his tongue And tried hard to capture his breath When she said I waited all my life For just a little death Say you wouldn't kid about it Say you wouldn't kid about it Say you wouldn't kid about it Sometimes he takes himself so seriously She makes her movements mysteriously Slow fast or furiously It's a big responsibility With a face full of mixed ability Big dreams of elegance Singing the leaving of Liverpool And turning into Americans Say you wouldn't kid about it So what if this is a man's world I want to be a kid again about it Give me back my sadness I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl We fight so frail Making love tooth and nail You gave me the kiss of my life I might even live to tell the tale Chorus
  11. Little Savage2:37

    Letra

    I would have waited all my life Just to make love out of something other than spite But the beauty is the beast you're baiting Should really be worth the waiting You do something very special to Mr. Average Now the lamb lies with the lion He's just a little savage And so you turn your back on me And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco Actions speak louder now than words By just a fraction What's the use of saying I love you whe I'm drinking to distraction We save our sanity By saying such and such After all its been discussed You say you must be touched Chorus
  12. Boy With A Problem2:12

    Letra

    I feel like a boy with a problem I can't believe what we've forgotten And I even slapped your face and made you cry It's the last thing I want to do Pull the curtains on me and you Pull the carpet from under love Pull out like young lovers do You swore you wouldn't shout If it's not your punch then its your pout Days in silence try my temper Nights spent drinking to remember How memories are always tender I crept out last night behind your back The little they know might be the pieces I lack Came home drunk Talking in circles The spirit is willing but I don't believe in miracles I've got a problem but let's go to bed I can roll over and I can play dead But here I am in the doghouse instead I feel like a boy with a problem I can't believe all you've forgotten Sleeping with forgiveness in your heart for me
  13. Pidgin English3:58

    Letra

    There's a young girl with her old man who's too sick to mention She'll be turning twenty seven as she draws her widow's pension But he couldn't catch a common cold he couldn't get arrested Too terrified to answer back Too tired to have resisted Many hands make light work Shorthand makes life easy When he's out on night work Make sure no one sees me It all ends up in a slanging match with body talk and bruises A change is better than a rest Silly beggars can't be choosers One of a thousand pities you can't categorize There are ten commandments of love When will you realise There are ten commandments of love I believe, I trust, I promise, I wish love's just a throwaway kiss In this Pidgin English If you're so wise use your lips and your eyes Take it to the bridge she sighs You go cheep cheep cheep between bulleyes and bluster Stiff as your poker face Keener than mustard From your own back yard to the land of exotica From the truth society to neurotic erotica Silence is golden Money talks diamonds and ermine There's a word in Spanish Italian and German In sign language, morse code, semaphore and gibberish Have you forgotten how to say it In your Pidgin English? Chorus PS I love you
  14. You Little Fool3:11

    Letra

    Daddy's best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend But she's never wanted at home Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers Talks on the telephone for hours and hours But with the bird in his hand And two on a string The words of love have an imitation ring You little fool, you little fool I suppose that your going to stay all night You little fool Don't look at me that way you know it isn't right You little fool They say no news is good news The little girl wants information Mother just gives her some pills to choose And says go and use your imagination Daddy's best girl in the world says just look what I have got As she sits beside him on the high stool With his arm around her neck snowball in one hand And the other full of imitation jewels She fingers a string of pearls An imitation but he'll never know it Imitation lashes flutter above Looking for an imitation of love You little fool I suppose that your going to stay all night You little fool So don't look at me that way you know it isn't right You little fool
  15. Town Cryer4:16

    Letra

    I'm the town crier And everybody knows I'm a little down With a lifetime to go Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place Why don't you take a good look at my face Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip I'm never going to cry again I'm going to be as strong as them They say they'd die for love And then they live it out They'll give you something to cry about And suddenly you really fall to pieces I'm the town crier And everybody knows I'm a little down With a lifetime to go Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place Why don't you take a good look at my face Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip Love and unhappiness go arm in arm Long suffering friends of your fatal charm Isn't it a pity that you're going to get hurt Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt

You can take me outside, you can take me apart You can take me upstairs, you can take me to heart You can take the decision that it's time to depart Don't try to stop me when you told me to start Little goody two shoes is here to clinch You can miss by a mile or you can miss by an inch Don't move a muscle, baby, don't even flinch Or little goody two shoes will feel the pinch

  12. I Turn Around

    Letra

    Sometimes I try so hard to resist, you say you will and I say you won't. Sometimes I think that you don't exsist and sometimes you don't. Pinch me 'cause I don't believe it. Kiss me 'cause it feels like a hit. I turn around and you're not there. Why must it always be the less I see of you, the more I care? You're determined to make me as miserable as you can. You're like Harry Houdini or the Invisible Man. Count 10 and then down again. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Doing everything they say shouldn't be done, more fun than you can have with your clothes on. Pinch me 'cause I don't believe it. Kiss me 'cause it feels like a hit. I turn around and you're not there. Why must it always be the less I see of you, the more I care? You're determined to make me as miserable as you can. You're like Harry Houdini or the Invisible Man. I turn around and you're not there. Why must it always be the less I see of you, the more I care? The less I see of you, the more I care. The less I see of you, the more I care.
  13. From Head To Toe

    Letra

    Oh, well, now you're the girl I'm simply mad about. Oh yes, I'm really glad it's been me. Oh yeah. I hope that you've been getting ready, 'Cause I'm gonna ask you to go steady with me. I got two eyes that happened by ya, And when they saw you, they said they knew you were fine. I got two lips that long to kiss you, And when they speak, they say they wish you were mine. Hey, sweet baby, oh don't you know that I am yours from head to toe. Oh, I got a little heart inside me beating And when it speaks it keeps repeating your name all the time. You better watch out 'cause of what I say Cause baby, don't you know that I ain't playing a game? Hey, sweet baby, oh don't you know that I am yours from head to toe. All the way down from the top to the ground, sweet baby. I got two legs and I got two feet that always take me to your street Everyday, all the time. No matter which way I try to go, my legs and my feet They seem to know the way. Hey, sweet baby, oh don't you know that I am yours from head to toe. All the way down from the top to the ground. Hey, sweet baby. I am yours from head to toe. Sweet baby.
  14. The World Of Broken Hearts

    Letra

    Every night you'll find me in the only world i own. It's a crowded place that's filled with people all alone. It's a place that i could write a book about. When they let you in, you'll find there's no way out. There you don't get in, 'cause there's no way out There's just no way out. No way out when your in a world of broken hearts, In a world of broken hearts, Of broken hearts, Of broken hearts. Those who enter here are told to leave their dreams behind. You may never get to sleep again, but you don't mind. It's a place that i could write a book about. When they let you in, you'll find there's no way out. There you don't get in, 'cause there's no way out There's just no way out. No way out when your in a world of broken hearts, In a world of broken hearts, Of broken hearts, Of broken hearts. In a world of broken hearts, In a world of broken hearts, In a world of broken hearts, Of broken hearts, Of broken hearts. Till fade
  15. Night Time

    Letra

    Wait until the light goes out, I don't want to be seen about, maybe we could find a place to go. Find a crowded place where they don't care about your face, or if your name is even Santa Claus or Joe. I'll be right at home if they leave me alone. That's why I only operate at night time. Wait until the clock strikes ten, it'll all start happening then. Baby, just you wait and see. We can have a little party, laugh and sing and everything, I know you'll like it, just you wait and see. Maybe first we'll dig a movie, then we'll hit they high spots feelin' groovy. That's why I only operate at night time. The right time is the night time. I wait `til it's late and I can concentrate, making love by the light of the moon. So when it's way past nine, get ready for a swinging time, `cause I don't know where to draw the line. We can have a little party, laugh and sing and everything, I know you'll like it just you wait and see. Maybe first we'll dig a movie, then we'll hit the high spots feelin' groovy. That's why I only operate at night time. Night time. (repeat 5 more times and fade)
  16. Really Mystified

    Letra

    He will break your heart, if you go with him. Tear it all apart, and that would be a sin. I'm really mystified, I even sat right down and cried. I'm the one that needs you, I love you constantly. Answer me, I need you, I'm waitnig patiently. I'm really mystified, I even sat right down and cried. Darling, if I let you go by, I'll be living in a dream of emptiness. The feeling in my heart, my mind and my soul, if you would surely cure my loneliness. He will break your heart, if you go with him. Tear it all apart, and that would be a sin. I'm really mystified, I even sat right down and cried. Darling, if I let you go by, I'll be living in a dream of emptiness. The feeling in my mind, my heart and my soul, if you would quickly cure my loneliness. He will break your heart, if you go with him. Tear it all apart, and that would be a sin. I'm really mystified, I even sat right down and cried. Ooh Yeah, mystified. Really mystified. Really mystified.
  17. The Stamping Ground

    Letra

    The stamping ground, The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Coming in with the same blokes, going home with the same jokes, if you ever go missing I know where you'll be found : the stamping ground. The big fella on the front door knows your face. The barman pretends that he's saved you a place, but when your back is turned they say she's older than she tells. I could stand the main attraction, but not the clientelle. The stamping ground, The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Coming in with the same blokes, going home with the same jokes, if you ever go missing I know where you'll be found : the stamping ground. Everybody knows evrybody's trouble, who comes in alone, who leaves as a couple. When they seen you coming, babe, they act like they're pleased to meet you. Say "It's very nice to know you, but I wouldn't want to be you." The stamping ground, The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Going home with the same blokes, going home with the same jokes, if you ever go missing I know where you'll be found : the stamping ground. You talk like you don't have a brain in your head. You act like you don't have a care in your bed. Th lights are on, there's no one home, it scares you to death. You stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath. The stamping ground, The stamping ground. All your old gang still hang around. Going home with the same blokes, going home with the same jokes, if you ever go missing I know where you'll be found : the stamping ground. The stamping ground. The stamping ground. The stamping ground. The stamping ground.

    Letra

    Everyone agreed that she looked delightful Except for her sister, who was hateful and spiteful Blushing bright red from her head to her feet But rushing into her bridal suite The imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir Life turns out like a TV serial A head full of daydreams, his hands full of material She says it's nothing, he's messing up her hair And still he looks so neat Stepping into the bridal suite The imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir So the best man will do his best again Now they're getting dressed again Blushing bright red from her head to her feet Sneaking out of the bridal suite The imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir We know who you're with and where you are In the imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir Two names under the register In the imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir Au revoir
