"And though your wristwatch always works/Your necktie never fits . . . "--such a great, great line, and such pure Costello! But then this song is full of great, great lines--lyrical and melodic . . .

This is beautiful, and all the more poignant in light of Lis Sladen's passing. Goodbye, Sarah Jane, you will be sorely missed :(

Goodbye Sarah Jane. RIP.

R.I.P. Ms. Sladen T_T

Whoever posted this, I love you. As a late 70s/early 80s kid who watched Tom Baker, K9 and Sarah Jane, I became a fan of Aimee Mann in university. This is such a beautiful song, and one that perhaps, the record buying public never realised or understood in 1988 when Til Tuesay released Everything's Different Now. You have done such a marvellous job in making a video that all Dr Who fans - and Aimee Mann - fans will love. Seriously, if I ever meet you, I WILL buy you a beer. Thank you. ;)

the costello version is haunting, wish i could find my cd ;(

@captslappy There is indeed an Elvis Costello version. I prefer EC's version, theres much more atmosphere. And though Aimee is great, I feel that EC sings it with more emotion. It's easier to believe the lyrics when he sings them.

Damn, this is a great song! Kudos to Elvis for always being ready to work with other first-rate songwriters, and kudos to Aimee for an overall great career that too few people have heard about.

Thank you for the info. I will have to check that out.

Elvis recorded his own version. Look for it on the "All This Useless Beauty" album.
I've always thought this was the greatest co-lab from 2 of the best writers ever... Aimee will always be my muse!
