Lyrics, right between the eyes

As I said not long ago, sometimes a song that’s been at the edge of your consciousness just comes up and hits you with a bat. This week, it’s Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach, “Toledo”:
But do people living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn’t travelled very well?
And does anybody in Ohio
Dream of that Spanish citadel?
But it’s no use saying that I love you
And how that girl really didn’t mean a thing to me
For if anyone should look into your eyes
It’s not forgiveness that they’re gonna see
You hear her voice – “How could you do that?”
You hear her voice – “How could you do that?”
