"The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town . . . Meanwhile in Clubland, they are ready to pull them down!" Maybe I'm a lyrics nerd, but that is just brilliantly clever and sarcastic. And the instrumentals here might be even better.

@TheJedgeworth Sorry. I meant to write 2:09. The mimic is subtle but there. Thanks for the correction!

@WickedGravityVideo You MIGHT have bought it then, but it actually came out IN 1980

kind of a shitty video, but the song kicks major ass.... remember the thrill of buying TRUST when it came out in mid 80s.

@kevtruth Agreed - pretty much nailed it there I think. This song is sublime.

@videostrategies Yeah, this guy alone made me a music snob. If I were one of these shit artists today like Lil Wayne I would be downright embarrassed in front of this lyricism.

@11xzxzxz EC to me killed during the My Aim Is True thru Imperial Bedroom period. He loses me when he punches the clerk and says goodbye to the cruel world. Then recovers with King Of America/Blood & Chocolate. The Warner Bros. period is thorny. Spike, Brutal Youth and All This Useless Beauty are cool. Just my two cents.

Brilliant, genius, and everything other earth shaking compliment. Its EC. Expect nothing less.
I saw him perform this in concert.



I like how at 2:19 Costello mimics Marilyn's pose.

@TheJedgeworth 2:19 nothing happens. It's just Nieve playing the piano. Did you write the time wrong?
