As a Costello fan you must know that he wrote this for Wyatt and has said on more than one occassion that Wyatt's is supreme and superior to his own version. I like Costello too and think his version is wonderful and moving but to dismiss this version as "karaoke" is demeaning and frankly offensive. Wyatt's voice is beautiful and he patently believes in the song. He lends it such emotion that it still moves me to tears. You must tell me where you listen to karakoe - must be a brilliant place!!!!

Context
Under Thatcher Britain stopped making things and switched to providing financial services.
Is this contemporary or what?

Costello's is lovely too, but very slick. It certainly benefits from the great Chet Baker, but Costello says he knew he couldn't get close to Wyatt's version, so he went smooth.

I can never thank you enough for introducing me to the term 'spunk bubble'. How did I live without it?

One of the best songs ever written, one of the best performance too, I wouldn't go near that if I was covering songs, it's all been said, thanks Robert and thanks Declan for writing it .

This would've been a far better song to hit the top of the charts in the week of Thatchers death. It wouldn't of been censored either.
