| Elvis Costello – Jack of All Parades Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Costello has another song called "Crimes of Paris" on Blood & Chocolate. I've always taken both references to be about the mythological Paris, who fell in love with Helen of Troy, which led to the start of the Trojan war. Seems to fit since it's about betrayal and love, but the Jack the Ripper angle is interesting, too, especially with the reference to fleshpots. | |
