"The song Elvis Costello would love to have written..." - read that in a music mag years ago, and I think it's probably true. Love Elvis too, but although he loved country music - he never managed to write a really top country tune - like this.
Shit-hot song! Timeless! Absolutely timeless! Did I hear this lyric right? I'm sure the line I heard was: "She'd say that she'd sod-all", but that can't be right- (not for the Seventies!) :/
Along with Golden Brown by The Stranglers this should have been number one in 1982, fantastic song, a tragic song lyrically an "anti love song" squeeze were good at doing these..
life in a nutshell. the story could be shifted or shuffled to suit anyone. makes me want a drink though........

@MsDDRey 1981 wasn't about tits and ass? I'm almost positive most rock bands were at the time. But okay, let's all get nostalgic together.

"Drinks to remember, I, Me and Myself "
Great lyrics and one of the best songs of the 80's.

@aerialkate That sounds plausible. But his cover of George Jones's 'Good Year for the Roses' makes up for it!
