[JackKerouac1922]

great song!!!

[JofusSunshyne]

Tremendous song, on the compilation I have this follows The Poisoned Rose, and then itself is followed by I want You & Olivers Army. Fantastic!

He is somebody Im new to actually listening to, somebody I look forward to really discovering if those four songs are out for anything! :)

I just love this song. With this one, and Good Year for The Roses, and Everyday I Write the Book, he really proved he can write--and just as important, memorably deliver--songs that will be called "standards" for decades to come.

elvis has remarkable heart, and a wonderful way with words. His music makes people move, act, laugh and cry. Thank you Lord for Elvis Costello.

Of course with most things beauty, particularly in art, is in the eye of the beholder. Having said that I must say that Costello as a lyricist is undervalued-- he ranks alongside Joni Mitchell/Paul Simon/Dylan/ect., as one of the top 10. This tune captures the melancholy, madness and love relatiionships are made of. "You were the Spice of Life, the Gin in my Vermouth/And though the sparks would fly, I thought our love was fireproof.." What a sparkling Gem!

@MrWallygator2 Costello vociferates the emotions roused by rejection better than most. Take "I want you" as a case in point. His ability to stand in the eye of the tornado and feel the wind is without peer!

@copout7 What an eloquent comment that apeaks volumes. Very Declan McManus like.

I heard this song and was just digging the normal Costello groove until it get's to the chorus and I understood what he meant by the song title. It brings a vivid series of images to mind that almost make me want to cry.

[ZigZagWanderer]

Many musician would give an arm just to have such a song behind their name.

[sambomcl]

Wonderful shout.

Many more would not understand the genius.

@ZigZagWanderer

Cannot even begin to come up with the words to agree with you so strongly, sir (or ma'am).

[bunker081]

[aje2103]

probably my favourite costello song ! "Though the sparks would fly i thought our love was fireproof" its slightly creepy but not as bad as "I want you" . A very very beautiful song that i never tire of hearing

[zazoutoo]
