Thing you like about an EC song

Shipbuilding- A song that clearly proves Elvis as a master lyricist. I personally like the content of the song (It's about the Falklands war) and its smooth/jazzy/punch-the-clock-y feel rocks!

"While we could be diving for pearls" -love this!

Umm...Uh...Oh i know:

Harpies Bizarre.

Great lyrics, Elvis is a genius with words! I also like the imaginative use of unusual instruments!

He selects the plainest face form a spiteful row of girls
Elegant insulted women, a flaw of cultured pearls
He drops a name or two, she fails to catch.......

Next up: I'll wear it proudly

Definitely the stacked, close harmonies that bring the chorus in. He did this song on the River in Reverse tour and I thought I was in heaven. With Davey and Allen on backing vocals, it sounded just like the record, something I didn't think could happen. I love this song.

I love the intro on this. It sounds like a cocky swagger.

I also like I also like the way everything stops when he sings "This is what I'm gonna say" before he sings the title line.

Next: Radio Silence

Elvis at his drunken, depressed, broken-hearted, self-destroyed best...
