Elvis Costello - Alison (My Aim Is True)

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
that you are not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress.
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody.
I only know it isn't mine.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

Well I see you've got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
I'll bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
cause I can't stand to see you this way.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
My aim is true.

Great stuff! I'm shocked there are no videos of Tiny Steps or Big Tears - two of my favorites. I'm assuming if you have them, you'll post them. Thanks!

Why did he speed this beautiful ballad up? The album track is brilliant!

Thanks very much. Unfortunately, there's no "Sleep of the Just" in the boxes of VHS tapes I'm slowly sifting through. However, your enthusiasm has inspired me to turn off my computer, turn the lights low, and play King of America from beginning to end.

And I trust you'll collect all of the new performances on TV that are sure to happen in the coming weeks with new CD? I am out of the media loop. Lucky if I get an hour of TV for Spectacle. Now I would like to have allof those shows on DVD....

Wow, this is brilliant! I presume that this version is one of the song versions he scrapped for being "too New Wave" during the recording of Get Happy.
