Elvis Costello Fan Forum

don't know anything about that LC. I do admire the fact that he never celebrates when he scores against his former clubs (and there are lots of em!). The guy is one of the few footie players who ooozes integrity.

Talk of Spurs selling him on. Please God no!!!!!

come on PoP...where are you????


We have fuck all to gloat about all year and then we get the chance and nobdy bites!!!

as much as i like beyond belief, i cannot understand the facination with it...there are loads of better EC songs...imho....explain to me someone....please!!

did i miss something or wasnt 'Still' a single?

A Jackson Doofster is a variety of spanish water melon

hey PoP - Just call me Nostrodamus!

I didnt really yawn at 'I Want You'. I yawned at the predictability of its place in the top 10. Hope i'm proved wrong!

lol.... :lol: :lol: perhaps it was a sub-conscious thing. Alas the real reason for my absence was a combination of the following: 1. Need to do some work 2. Need to spend sometime with my family over Christmas 3. My discovery of Pokermillion.com (stay clear!!!) Anyway. good to be back amongst pals a...

its not that the yawn songs (above) are boring - of course they're not. Perhaps a little overplayed, but not boring. He doesn't seem to do Chelsea live very often. The one song that i never need to hear Elvis do live again as an encore is 'Pump it Up'. It's like a once favourite dessert that you've ...

Prediction for this weekend (words to be forced down my throat by PoP on Sunday). Spurs 2 Liverpool 1 Postiga to end his premiership drought with a fine volley form the edge of the box. Simon Davies to get the other from close range. A dodgy penalty gives Liverpool late consolation. Heskey comes on ...

have we played this one yet....can't recall it


What EC album track or b side shoudl have been a single ?

i always thought that The World and his Wife would have been a great single...

...also Men Called Uncle

any others?

my guess at the top 10:

watching the detectives (yawn)
alison (yawn)
chelsea
shipbuilding (yawn)
kinghorse
man out of time
all the rage
i want you (yawn)
beyong belief
lipstick vogue

Good call BC. I loved PTC when i first bought it in 1983 and i played it to death. Over the years I've grown out of it a little but the song you quoted ...'The Invisible Man'.... made my shortlist for the top 15 you are torturing us all with...

Still play it when I want to feel 17 again

Shamed into Love - "once a fool for havin it, twice a fool for letting it go"

Now aint that the truth!

My original list was 42 songs. Alpal may be interested to know that 'For The Stars' was on it - no kidding. I happen to think that No Wonder and For the Stars are great songs. The latter is very autobiographical (IMHO) Top 15 Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue King Horse Who Do You Think You Are? The Beat...

don't start me on Gyneth Paltrow..

The dance floor thing was ok...but That bloody new song pisses me off intensely. :x Her estuary english accent is gruesome and the lyrics stink :cry: "I'll still change my underwear, if that's alright with you" :roll: Someone give her laryngitis pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase. Our US friends may ...

Whatever your faith (or lack of one) I'm just dropping a quick note to say have a great time over the holiday period. I can't post much at the moment as I'm extremely busy....however, my best wishes are with you top people.

Peace and love

The Doofster

let me guess......

25 Oasis songs
10 by Coldplay
12 Travis
400 by REM
400 by U2
the rest an assortment of AOR

yeah...Maxwell!! Serial killer!

Woman in the Wall. What a great macabre song that is!

my god....isn't life short enough!

It's interesting...........my kid brother, who was actually a kid when GCW was released, still loves GCW. He has listened to other Elvis a little, but still goes on about the 'great songs' on GCW..................................................mind you, he loves Stereophonics, Coldplay and Muse... ...

Lapins: I am in very fine health thanks. Sadly the very staid 'children carrier' was not so lucky and is still awaiting repair. Even more tragically, my own more sporty vehicle is without a clutch and the best quote is £300

Should dig out my bike!
