This song was actually written by Costello's wife (at the time) Cait O'Riordan, who played bass for The Pogues before meeting him.
On a BBC special, Everything About Spike, in 1989 Costello explains that he didnt want to make the song a cliche and wanted it to stay simple, which it is and the lyrics are easily understood.
I know the song is easy to understand and my comment sounds repeated and hasnt added much to help just thought I'd comment. :)
Amazing song.
