Wouldn’t You Rather Have Last Year’s Model? By Helen Bach

There are voices that come from the throat. Elvis Costello has that. Almost swallow with really precise enunciation.

You can hear the space in his teeth.

Today the boss was teasing and flirting which of course led to

“You tease you flirt…”

Greenshirt?

Yeah lickety split (no puns intended) I get it in my inbox.. (again- no puns intended)

I opened up this amazing ‘demo’ acoustic Greenshirt and instantaneously went week kneed.

Partially because I was shocked i hadn’t heard it before but mostly because you can feel youth. Well I can anyway.

This is a fantastic gem. Iman may as well given me a diamond tiara, I’d treasure it just the same.

A brilliant spare verse which Costello fans will simply smile at. Meaningless words that fit wonderfully.

I fell in love with Elvis yet again, what a fantastic and incredible artist.
