I've had a word with God. Took a year like, but he says to tell ye 'Naw, it's actually rather good, but why is the boy dressed like Travis Bickle gently restyled by Gok Wan?'

Then he said 'Dinnae tell me - I ken awready.'

So there you go - ask and ye shall receive. After a fashion.

As plaintive and poignant version of this as you'll ever hear. Well done sir.

great job

[franzisca61]

thank you! I was just looking for the great elvis costello's recorded version, the one with the chet baker solo at the end... but you are very good. a pleasure to re-member like this!

Sweet version Simon! I'll doff my cap to this! One can't blag one's way through a song as naked as this by hiding behind layers of instrumentation. One's tackle's out on display... so to speak... and you pulled off to a T. I'd love to hear a less Wyatty version, more personal version in the future, too.

Nice to see people like bill3979 reaffirming their narrow outlooks on life. I'd hate to hear what illuminating things he would have to say about any recent Scott Walker covers that may exist!!!!
