Personally one of my favorite songs but I've never really understood it's meaning fully but the lyrics and simply incredible ! Please share your thoughts about this song for my viewing pleasure hahaha

I think this is one of those songs that inspires (in my opinion, unwarranted) vitriol from some board members.

I personally think it's wonderful, with a lovely melody. I don't know what it's about and honestly couldn't care less.

Classic Costello in my ears: elegant melody, bitter words, vocabulary that rises above the usual pop-music lingo ...

If I'm not careful I might even let this one make my personal top 10!

Seriously, one of my favorites.

This song is as was described as a 'classic Costello sound' I can't articulate it any better, his voice is in peak condition on it and the lyrics are so ... perfect. I miss the songs like this ! The Kohl Black Seam lyric is kinda weird
