This song was going to be used in The Social Network's opening credits, David Fincher's choice. Love the song, but thank god they went with Trent Reznor's "Hands Cover Bruise"
Quite possibly the greatest British musical artist of the last 35 years. I don't think anyone has been as consistently good as Declan. From the lyrics to the musicians he has worked with, he's always produced top notch work.
@sixamsedna although an excellent song I'm glad that he heard the track that Atticus and Trent sent him, because that is a bit more brillant. At least that leaves a song that Stephen Frears can use on his next feature.
YES YES YESSSSS !!!!!!!!! i lost my best of elvis costello cd long long long time ago and decided tonight to search for some elvis c songs and i found this !!!!!! and this is the song i listened too a billion times !!!
@jjpeterson1 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector 9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
@hunchybunker Practicing Catholic. I misunderstood the "true" teachings of the church before and went on to explore other Christian faiths, Eastern religions, etc. before I found that what I was sought was in the bare bones of authentic Catholic teaching.
"You say you have no secrets, then leave discretely..." song is dripping with fantastic lines like none I can think of. One of my favorites from the first time I heard it.
