This is bedsit-room, singles-bar, phone-in agony (''"Why do you have to say that there's always someone who can do it better than I can?"'' — "[[Miracle Man]]") from which the venom runneth over into that rarity, luxurious rock and roll.

He may not look like a teen wet-dream, but he has the inherent sense of nuance which marks him out as one of the fated feted (''"I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused"'' — "[[(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes|Red Shoes]]"), a fact which became more and more painfully obvious as Costello bled through every single track of ''[[My Aim Is True]]'', plus songs such as "[[Watching The Detectives]]," "[[Lipstick Vogue]]," "[[Lip Service]]," "[[(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea | He may not look like a teen wet-dream, but he has the inherent sense of nuance which marks him out as one of the fated feted (''"I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused"'' — "[[(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes|Red Shoes]]"), a fact which became more and more painfully obvious as Costello bled through every single track of ''[[My Aim Is True]]'', plus songs such as "[[Watching The Detectives]]," "[[Lipstick Vogue]]," "[[Lip Service]]," "[[(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea|I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea]]" and the B-side of "[[Less Than Zero]]" (the first single), "[[Radio Sweetheart]]." | ||
