about
The only track on Taken that was actually commercially released. Cameron rearranges the original riff and plays it on a twelve string, John plays some lovely slide and Anthony’s wide-screen production lends the song an apt autumnal grandeur. This received much radio and video play on its release.
I was happy to learn that this remains one of Graham Brazier’s favourite songs as it was inspired, in part, by figures from that 70s era of rock’n’roll – Graham and Paul Hewson chief among them.
lyrics
Put the fear of God as you hop, skip skip and jump, put the fear of God in you.
Same old man you know, out taking a stroll.
He might be the king of rock’n’roll, that’s the way it goes, all the way down Codeine Road.
Stop in at the shop.
Spend all the money he got on red red wine and a video.
A shot to go, the whole way down Codeine Road.
She’s sitting there, talking on the phone.
I take a chair, she take a car and go go go!
Codeine Road.
There’s little boy blue he’s out on his own too.
Lord, he ain’t got a clue, just what he’d do if they closed Codeine Road.
There’s little boy blue, hey look, there’s me and you down Codeine Road.
Hey don’t make no fuss, just find someone you can trust down Codeine Road.
You got the same old face, in the same old place Codeine Road. It’ll put the fear of God in you.
It’ll put the fear of God in you.
It’ll put the fear of God in you.
It’ll put the fear of God in you.
