Beyond belief
So in this almost empty gin palace
Through a two-way looking glass
You see your AliceYou know she has no sense
For all your jealousy
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly— Elvis Costello
Winamp threw this up when ramdomly walking through ~10 GB of mp3s.
I first heard this song covered by Suzanne Vega in Lund circa 1990, and it made me go out and buy Costello’s Girls Girls Girls double-CD “greatest hits”. Those songs kept me sane during military service a year later, and Beyond Belief was one of the best.
Anyway, the point is that I loved Vega’s cover, but I’ll probably never hear it again. That’s the charm of live performances I guess.
