A great, dark Elvis Costello tune is 'Wave A White Flag'. Twisted and funny in a very dark way.

I guess I gotta give big time another chance

Thanks for the tip. I'll try to hunt it down when I have a moment.

ps If you haven't seen Michael Winterbottom's "I Want You" it's worth a see. Uses the song to great effect.

Thanks! And yeah, isn't it just creepy yet disturbingly kinda hot as his voice sounds increasingly wrecked and unhinged? Yikes. It's my favourite of him.

The mix perfectly matches the photo: too close for comfort and brilliant. And that is the best god damn Elvis Costello song ever.
