After all these years, this song has inspired me to finally check out some Elvis Costello. Wish I'd heard it sooner! And I have read somewhere that it does indeed to refer to the mental hospital in Chelsea.

When I think of Chelsea, I think of "King's Road" and the trendy fashion shops and cool private wine clubs, like "Blushes".

Funny. It reminds me SO MUCH of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I always thought Elvis Costello was a nerd until not long ago. But kinda raunchy (the whole album). Funny.

It's about a common villain in Costello songs - The material girl. The glamour model. Especially the pathetic, outdated one ("She's last year's model"). Her photographer is also mentioned, portrayed as a bit of a pervert. Another clue: I think Chelsea hosts a mental hospital, which he refers to with the men in white coats, and not wanting to go there! That's about all I can say on it, but I'm sure there is more information (or conjecture) on the internet.
