from my library (cd)

[Image: 220px-Elvis_Costello_-_When_I_Was_Cruel.jpg]

Another so-so Elvis album. The great ones are long gone, but a bad one is hard to find. Mr. consistent. Three great
tracks and four bad ones on here. His 20th album would be the first to include the lineup known as The Imposters.
The only difference from The Attractions is the replacement of bassist Bruce Thomas with Davey Faragher. After a
four year layoff, this one was tagged as one of those "return to form" albums. So say those expert critics. Of
course after that Burt Bacharach thing, anything would be a return. Elvis had reached that let him do whatever he
wants phase. The three great ones here are When I Was Cruel, Alibi, and Episode Of Blonde, the three longest
tracks. Singles were 45 and 15 Petals, neither showing a charting. The album reached #20.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Soul For Hire

Best Track - Episode Of Blonde

I spy for the "Spirit of Curiousity"
All the scandals of each vain monstrosity
I gossip and I pry and I insinuate
If the failure is great
Then it tends to fascinate

A tornado dropped a funnel cloud with twenty tons of rain
Though she had the attention span of warm cellophane
Her lovers fell like skittles in a 10-pin bowling lane
But nothing could compare with that explosion of fame

So you jumped back with alarm
Every Elvis has his army
Every rattlesnake its charm
Can you still hear me?
Am I coming through just fine?
Your memory was buried in a simple box of pine

Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak?
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek?
It's such a shame you had to break the heart
You could have counted onbut the last thing you need is another
...Episode of blonde

Revolving like a jeweller's figure on a music box
Spangled curtain parted and a night-club scene unlocks
Pinned and fixed and fastened in a follow spot
Arms thrown out to everyone, she's giving all she's got
To the last gasp of a wounded bandeon
Tiny man imploring to the cieling fan
This stolen feeling
Amplified up through a busted speaker
Blaring, blasting, advertising, distorted beyond reason
Into the street where petty crime-coats shadow panic drunkards,
Half out of the taxi cab the barker seized my elbow
He thought I was another lonely, likely pilgrim looking for St.Telmo

Repeat chorus

I tried to keep a straight face but you know it never pays
He would stare into those eyes and then vacation in her gaze
She was a cute little ruin that he pulled out of the rubble
Noe they are both living in a soft soap bubble

The film producer's contemplating, entertaining suicide
The picture crumpled in his fist, his runaway child bride
The timepiece stretched across a wrist
She couldn't care less cast aside
The scent that so repelled him that he swore: "insecticide"
And there's a farewell note to mother
That will conclude "Your loving Son"
"Oh, tell your other children not to do as I have done."

Chorus

So an artist drags a toothbrush across the first thing that he sees
And names the painting "Christ's Last Exit into Purgatory"
Receiving secret messages from an alien intelligence
Paying off his stalker it's a legitimate expense
So paste up pictures of those shrill and hollow girls
With puckered lips
She's a trophy on your arm
A magnet for your money clip
The moral of this story is the sorry tale to say
They're pieced with links of chains so they can never run away

so many albums, so little time

What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 07-12-2011

another of the few that i dont own yet....
a few great tracks, and a couple of bad ones are standard for an Elvis album....but as you said...overall Mr.Consistant, his latest effort of National Treasure didnt have any bad tracks on it which was the first in along time IMO
but when he is good he is as good as anyone in the game, even after almost 35yrs.

When I Was Cruel is my favourite track on this one, glad you gave it ***

Once Robbie gets his teeth into someone new, there's no stopping him.

Live album from earlier in 2011.

The music gets more heft in a live setting, which is good, and there's a cover of NY's Revolution Blues that sits well with Israel's own songs.

Robbie preferred this one to the two studio albums, but I favour Barn Doors & Concrete Floors...

Einsturzende Neubaten-Tabula Rasa

My favorite industiral group, and one of their many brilliant albums. Considerably more toned-down then many of their other works, this one definitely makes up what it lacks in brutality with some excellent, very evocative songs
