Here's a quiz for you Costello fans: if the hook goes ''"And I hope you're happy now,"'' what's the line immediately before it? Why, ''"I never loved you anyhow,"'' of course. Just another wizard jape from ol' little-hands-of-concrete's speedy follow-up to the fabulous '' | Here's a quiz for you Costello fans: if the hook goes ''"And I hope you're happy now,"'' what's the line immediately before it?

'' | ''Blood And Chocolate'' is full of wizard japes. ''"When you're over me, there's no one above you,"'' Costello deadpans. Elsewhere, he sings: ''"All the words of love seem cold and crass, when you're tough and transparent as armored glass."'' It's just more sharp irreverence from the man who coined: ''"You lack lust, you're so lackluster."'' | ||
But this is Costello so, natch, sometimes he's got more on his mind than "love," and, natch, sometimes it only seems as though he's got more on his mind. On "[[Tokyo Storm Warning]]," he sings: ''"Japanese god-Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes, for all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians."'' Nice thought, and I appreciate the hands across the Orient sentiment, but it's a bit obscure. And on one of the LP's highlights, "[[Battered Old Bird]]," the lyric congeals into the last words I ever wanna hear about drug abuse: ''"There's a place where time stands still, if you keep taking these little pink pills."'' | But this is Costello so, natch, sometimes he's got more on his mind than "love," and, natch, sometimes it only seems as though he's got more on his mind.
