First known performance:
“Indeed this in turn led to exploratory workshops with Mike Myers for a possible stage adaptation of Austin Powers and further songwriting sessions with the Bacharach/Costello team completing or sketching up to fifteen more songs, one of which would have been a ’secret track‘ back in this collection in the carefree days before algorithms ruled the waves but which is tucked on the end of the Taken From Life album, in the form of Bacharach’s tender and intimate vocal and piano performance of one of the more unexpected drafted subplots – the song of a disillusioned spy entitled: ‘Lie Back And Think Of England.’” — elviscostello.com
