I'm pretty sure I've done Elvis Costello before – didn't I give you “New Amsterdam”? - but here's another song. This is from his 1979 album “Armed Forces,” which is as bitter and tense and terrific as any of his early albums. I seem to remember that this was about some newsreader in the UK that Elvis thought was pretty – but of course he brought Fascism into it . . .
And it contains my friend Joanne's favorite line: “Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?”
