Tokyo Storm Warning - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[bimsie01]

I was dissapointed in the few albums before this one.But this song blew me flat on my ass.I think this song is his Desolation Row.

[ELGROOVER]

Can you hear it now? I can! ;-j

Used to listen to this on my Alpine cassette player on my way to Bamfield, B.C., in the 1980s and it still sounds like an raging epic poem of modernity.

[ELGROOVER]

Yes indeed, it still coughs out froth and spittle and I play this one a lot these days, croaking along with EC while passing the time, waiting for the coming storm to break....

[ClueSign]

I think he can kill with his lyrics.

[ELGROOVER]

Indeed, his aim is true....

[Crochet14]

I have always loved this song. A shrill rant against the whole world. Classic Costello.

"Death wears a big hat, 'cos he's a big bloke..."

[ELGROOVER]

"...We're only living this instant"

Costello as is, in a desert of mediocrity

he's the fellow with the vitriol stained tapestry.
