Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Thanks for the info, whar.

Some of the swimmer girls are not bad, either. Gee, seems like a lot of us watch it for one reason. :wink: By the way, I remember East Germany women athletes in the 70's and 80's. Now, they were a real delight to watch at... In fact I'm a big sports fan so I'm spending a lot of time in front of the ...

Mr. Average, I completely agree with you about "The Imposter" - brilliant song, both musically and lyrically. And as for OK Computer - for me this is where Radiohead started to become a bit too serious for the sake of it, and consequently lost the plot on the following two albums (no offen...

I fully agree with Sour Milk Cow. I have the old VHS collection of videos, but have never seen "So Like Candy" and "This Town..." because for reasons known only to them MTV played the videos once a month at 4 a.m. :x I don't even expect any 'bonus' material like interviews or com...

I finally finally got the reissues from Amazon!! I have just finished listening to Goodbye Cruel World bonus disc and I'm stunned. I am sure that had Elvis decided to record the songs only with acoustic guitar we would have got one of his best albums. These are simply very good songs and the unpolis...

I love Sleep Of The Just, so if what you're saying turns out to be true, this is going to be EC at his very best and the album I've been waiting for since ATUB.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your turn, PoP.

Seems like we can forget about the rumoured bonus disc with Il Sogno. Anyway, I just can't wait to hear the albums.

Actually, it is from the last-but-one album "Have You Fed The Fish?" (I haven't heard the last one yet). It's my favourite song off the album and it's called "You Were Right".
Another one (pleeeease answer it) : Glenn Tilbrook and Jennifer Saunders - any connection ?

Happy Anniversary !! And all the best for future !

Yep, this is a Badly Drawn Boy song.
Do you know the title ? (it's from the last album)

Ok, that was probably too obscure. It was "The Perfect Couple" from Paul Heaton's solo album.

Probably easier one - what song does my signature come from ?

Hello, anyone out there ?
OK, a hint - the song comes from a solo album of the leader of one of popular UK bands.

Don't offend Man City, Otis. I've heard Liam and Noel Gallaghers are frequent visitors to this site and they might be after you any minute now...

Which song's lyrics contain titles of the following songs : "Time Is On My Side", "You Sexy Thing", "Fool On The Hill", "Always On My Mind", "Born To Be Wild", "Running Up That Hill" ?

Psycho ?

1. Watch Your Step
2. Big Sister's Clothes
3. You'll Never Be A Man
4. New Lace Sleeves
5. From A Whisper To A Scream
6. Clubland
7. Shot With His Own Gun
8. Different Finger
9. White Knuckles
10. Strict Time

12. Fish 'N' Chip Paper
13. Lover's Walk

One of my favourites - "Thursday's Child", where, as far as I recall, he mentions all 7 days of the week.
And also "Sunday" from Heathen.

David Bowie ?

If not, is searching all over the net allowed ?

Hooray, I made it !!!
My team is FC Elvis United.

If only I could ....
I miss London desparately as last time I went there was in 1999 (when Poland lost 1 : 3 against England at Wembley ) and it seems such a long time ago.

Please post some pictures.

Otis, any news on FFL ? Have you set up the league for us lot ?
Next week I'm off to the beautifully cold Polish seaside, so I'd have to enter my team by then.

His image - especially in the 70's - is not exactly to my taste but some songs are really good.
I'd say In the Ghetto, Always On Mind, Don't Be Cruel and Suspicious Minds are my favourites.

King Of America and Blood And Chocolate. 1986 was the best year of the 1980's, or ever, if only for these two albums. And apart from EC, there is so much good stuff - Squeeze, The Smiths, Pixies, The Cure, Aztec Camera, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Pogues, Cole & The Commotions - that I find it ...

Otis, you seem to have travelled all around Poland !!
Any plans for future visits ?

Anyway, my question :
Which album has got Beck singing David Bowie's song, Bono and Gavin Friday doing T.Rex, and the "Trainspotting" actor singing Elton John ?
