Tribute to Elvis Costello - Dust2 (with lyrics)

This video is a tribute to Elvis Costello using his music from the song Dust2 found on the album "When I Was Cruel"
Dust2 :
If dust could only talk
What would we hear it say?
Before it's brushed aside
Just as it's swept away

It's just the evidence
It's of no consequence
It's only flesh and bone
Why don't you leave it alone?

If dust could only speak
Caught in a falling beam
If dust could only cry
If dust could only scream
For it's the single witness that might testify
Could I spit out the truth?
Or would you rather just swallow a lie?

But dust is always caught behind a coat of pain
Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints
And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape
Or in the ticket pocket where your hands escape

Before they start to wander
Or they start to shrink
You rub your eye a little and appear to blink
And then she caught you staring
She knows what you're thinking
What got into you is not a ghost as such
It was just dust

Here comes the juggernaut
Here come The Poisoners
They choke the life and land
And rob the joy from us
Why do they taste of sugar?
Oh, when they're made of money
Here come the Lamb of God
And the butcher's boy, Sonny

Well, I believe we just
Become a speck of dust...

@MrDbk13us I fell head over heels with When I Was Cruel. I I want to post Hurry Down Doomsday but haven't because I can't come up with images to combine with it. Got any ideas on Armegeddon friend?

Nice job. It would be great if you could do one for Tart and 15 petals from the same album.

[Circumpunk]

Ooooh I like this. Caught his show interviewing Lou Reed, Elton John and others about their musical influences. Great stories wee told. Really good (Even Elton....)

strange init ... for some reason I never went a bunch on Elvis Costello, don't know why. When was his big time, then I'll be able to work out why.

Been away for a while with little internet access ... that's why I have been exceedingly quite me old dutch.
