    I went to a book festival in Wales many years ago when the children were small. We were camping 8n some fields above the town that was holding it. I knew he was playing, but couldn't get tickets. Put the kids to bed, and then heard the whole damned performance from half a mile away. All the greats, including this song. Somehow it was even eerier through the twilight, across a river and through the canvas. Just chills

    One of the best songs he ever wrote,IMO. Just pure, raw emotion.If ever there was a song about someone getting their heart ripped out, this would be it. If you wanna see the superb version he and Fiona did of it, check that one out, too.

    The first time I heard this song was live, in concert and he was so intense he scared the hell out of me. And I loved it!

      My first time was also live, solo, acoustic with at least two broken strings which he took in stride, as if they were still there. Breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.

      @@lethalsin It's a song about how something as beautiful as love can at the same time be as depraved and detestable as a fresh turd floating in a soup bowl.

      @@telefred61 I kind of get it with that explanation, but I'd prefer to say it's a song about sexual jealousy. Many people might equate 'sexual jealousy' with what we usually call 'romantic love' and I'm not saying they're right or they're wrong. They might be either. But this is clearly the greatest song ever written about sexual jealousy or romantic love - whichever one you think it's about!

    I always imagine someone only hearing the soft introduction and immediately sharing it with their love before they've listened to the rest.
    If heartbreak made a noise, this is that sound.

    This was my go to song when my ex left me for someone else. It's sick, emotional and desribes very well what goes on inside during a heavy breakup.

    This is a song best sung in a dark cold lonely room. Not meant for an acoustically challenged environment. Breaking my heart because it, as original, is, The. Ultimate.

    Not just a love song...but a lot of anxiety in his voice and sometimes atonic guitar all the frustration is in this song. Never I heard this in a song so original!

    Elvis Costello wrote the greatest most grotesque brilliant heart wrenching unrequited love songs of all time and the only available live performances are either wankery jazz pastiches or with girls in mickey mouse boppers, I'm perplexed!

    I was lucky to watch his spinning songbook live at Newcastle, some lucky folk went on stage and spun the wheel and had a dance/beer while the band played the song, excellent as always.
