Another peek into the mysterious world of Music the Furry Guy Likes:
Elvis Costello is a lyricist’s lyricist. What he writes is intricate and completely non-obvious, but it still works musically and is accessible. That, coupled with the passion he puts into his performances, make him one of the musical gems of our time.
That, and one of my favorite lines ever comes from this song: “I’ve been wading through all of this unbelievable junk and wondering if I should’ve given the world to the monkeys.”
