"Luxembourg" by Elvis Costello and The Attractions tells a story about a person who is dressed up in a flashy manner but lacks substance or genuine emotion. The song metaphorically compares the person to dressing up like a dog's dinner, implying that they are overdressed and trying too hard to impress. However, despite their appearance, they are not genuine or sincere. The lyrics also mention how the person is like a tourist, playing a role and pretending to be something they are not. They hire out their sons and daughters, suggesting they are willing to do anything for personal and financial gain, even if it means selling out their own family. The chorus indicates that the person is either talking or yawning, not truly listening or caring about what they hear. They don't take things seriously and start their mornings with complaints or dissatisfaction, warning that they might end up in a completely different and unexpected place. The song continues to highlight the person's superficiality and lack of genuine connection. They are more concerned about the other person's body and odor rather than true feelings. The person even claims to love someone they actually loathe. The lyrics imply that their actions and relationships are driven by materialistic motives rather than emotional connections. The song also comments on how people smile sweetly while looking daggers, suggesting that they pretend to be friendly while harboring ill intentions. They have no qualms about hurting others, disregarding friends and even hoping for their own demise. The mention of Deutschmarks and Yen implies that the person is willing to do whatever it takes to gain wealth and superficial possessions, even if it means exploiting others. They are portrayed as being involved in shady dealings with councilmen in drinking clubs, implying corruption and unethical behavior. Overall, "Luxembourg" criticizes the lack of authenticity, materialism, and deceitfulness within society, portraying a protagonist who sacrifices genuine relationships for personal gain and superficial appearances.
