I'll let the man speak for himself about this one.
-Spencer
"That song is very, very personal to me
and I rarely perform it now. Very rarely.
I'm usually just not in the right mood.
And it's almost frightening that,
because when I find that feeling
creeping up on me - when I perform
that song - that I'm attaching
more importance to my work than is reasonable.
It's like 'yeah, it's only rock'n'roll' but,
at the same time, rock'n'roll as such IS my life.
It's all I do, so these songs ARE me.
That's why people whose songs you admire are usually
so disappointing when you meet them.
Because their songs are their lives
and they don't have a life outside their songs.
And often I feel exactly the same way."
-Elvis Costello
Allison
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
And with the way you look I understand
that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines
'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
Well I see you've got a husband now
Did he leave your pretty fingers
lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
I'll bet he took all he could take
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
cause I can't stand to see you this way
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true
