1. Femme Fatale
2. The Crooked Line
3. Down Among the Wines and Spirits
4. My All Time Doll
5. The rest

Loving this board since before When I Was Cruel.
Re: well, what do you think of
A few years ago EC said that he had to pay Leonard Bernstein for using a musical line from America in Button my LIp. I wonder if the Archies will be looking for their royalties for the line in From Sulphur to Sugarcane?
Re: well, what do you think of
No-one responded to my Archies reference, but "Pour a Little Sugar on me.." is one of the fade out lines from their 1969 smash hit. Am I the only one old enough to remember? Or the only one sad enought to know the lyrics?

Re: well, what do you think of
No, I am also sufficiently old & sad. Initially I thought of that insipid song by Def Leppard and was surprised Elvis would bother to quote a band so far beneath him. But then I remembered The Archies--quoting them is pretty cool.Am I the only one old enough to remember? Or the only one sad enough to know the lyrics?

Re: well, what do you think of
Yep...I remember the Archies. He doesn't really complete the line, so maybe he's trying to save some cash!

Re: well, what do you think of
Didn't realise there was an Archies quote in the new album. Which song? Is it from Sugar Sugar?
