This is one of my favourite songs of all time (from the magnificent Painted From Memory album). I love so many Elvis Costello songs, and this collaboration with the great Burt Bacharach is just incredible. I've attempted this song many times over the past few months, and only now have I recorded a version that I'm satisfied with sufficiently to post. I guess it's the phrasing that makes this song such a challenge for me, but I'm glad I've persevered. It's an absolute joy to play and sing.
