Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Well, this is all very interesting. I think we are all getting about a third of the picture here, and I'm surprised to say the least that these lyrics have been posted so soon. It was pretty obvious from the title and what Elvis has said already in interviews what this album was going to be about, b...

My boomarang won't come back - Charlie Drake.

I was listening to a play on BBC Radio 4 when up popped God's Comic.

My case against capital punishment is pretty simple. I just put myself in the shoes of an innocent person condemned to death. One innocent person dying in such a way is too much.

I guess it is that perspective that makes no. 10 important to me. I was brought up with the 'my country is the best' attitude and it wears with me. If someone you met was going 'I'm the greatest' I bet you'd run a mile. Years ago my aunt asked my new English husband 'How do you like America, isn't i...

I've got one answer! That was like a pub quiz where you can't get any of the questions right. The answer to the last one is a single assassin can not surround and take control of an oil field. If I win please give my winnings to charity (are all charities just shams)?

I'm glad the we're all special thing was defused, perhaps,perhaps not. Is special good, so far in my life no. He knows how to get his message across, see Clowntime is Over 2.

Can't-remember-his-first-name Celis. I know my beer (sort of)!

Thanks, SL, that's him. Anybody else read it?

One of those songs I've never heard. Saving a few up, I am. Like the complete works of Dickens, I'm spacing some of The Man's out.

My partner doesn't like his voice, or better put, his singing voice. He said he slides up the the note too much, and slips out of key a lot. He doesn't like how despite this, Elvis attempts some difficult songs. This is his words. I think he does the best with what he's got, and like some of the com...

Sounds hardly shocking, but fascinating just the same. My brother did a science fair project (please refer to The Simpsons if unsure of what that is) for me about basic computer punch card theory. He built a lovely little box and when you put nails in the holes on the top what you put in binary code...

Hey, Gilli, wondering the other day when you were coming aboard (pun intended).

Mr T? Bloody hell.

CP's new icon reminds me of the line 'somebody's in the kitchen'.

But wait til you hit the change. As far as celebrating, I'd pick pleasure before pain. Save the pain for some other time.

You guys won't believe this, or maybe you would, I'm on my third Harry Potter book. Nuts, I know.

Yes, but look what happened to that band.

Well here is where my political leanings let me down. STTDD was an excellent song about a women who was to shape the structure of the UK at least until this day. The first poodle. No, I correct myself, the first shitzu.

As he admitted himself, he still is (but so are we all)!

This must be the only damn place in the universe that when I vote in a poll my choice wins! Wonderful.

Never really liked them, though a few of their songs are storming. A friend has tried to get me interested for quite a few years, to no avail. Heard them at Glastonbury a few years back (if you remember it, you weren't there). Sounded great a couple of miles away. Reminded of the Cure (only because ...

Direct lyrics and a story. I think I may like it.

Ten great things about the UK 1. Pubs (especially one's in buildings over 500 years old, like my local) 2. Real ale (lovely stuff) 3. Never more than 70 miles from the coast 4. God is not on our side 5. Decent radio stations 6. The BBC 7. Easy, cheap access to the rest of Europe 8. No GM foods (yet)...

Yes, a bit obvious, HH.
