Costello, Elvis - Black Sails In The Sunset Lyrics
Vain boys are gonna have to swallow their pride this time
So let the punishment fit the crime
It's under the table
Under your skin
Into the cable
[Chorus:]
Black sails in the sunset
White noise going yakety-yak
All the money in the world will never bring your body back
Is it some mysterious dance nobody can do?
Thought I knew all the steps quite clearly
I don't have a clue
Oooh
And the shoe seems to fit you
You tell the truth sometimes but
You wouldn't know it if it hit you
Is this some new trick
Wired up in your head?
Do you make me sick
Or was I just force fed?
[Chorus]

Costello, Elvis Black Sails In The Sunset Comments
One of my all-time favorites. I had the 45-rpm and the EP... not to mention the LP
WHITE NOISE GOING YAKEDIYAK.... ☔
dynamite isn't it.... the man can't put a foot wrong with me. his output from 77 to about 94 is fucking untouchable
You're right. Brutal Youth '94 was the last one he tried to reconnect with his early period, which was brilliant. And I can't figure out why this song wasn't on Trust.
Much like Springsteen, Elvis hid some of his great tunes (Night Time being another great example).
What's Night Time? A Costello tune? Or Bruce?
It's amazing that Elvis Costello hid this jewel on some B-side. One of my favourite Costello songs!
Than you , great, great song !
thanks for this
