A great song from a 'different' kind of Costello album. He abandons the Attractions and his power pop sensibilities and turns out some great tunes with the usual killer lyrics. He's among the best and most thought provoking lyricists, and also likes to engage in wonderful word play. I appreciate any song that casts dispersion upon religion and this is one of my favorites. Imo, the central theme is that humans are so mediocre that God is either non-existent or has a wicked sense of humor. I mean, how else can one explain Trump?
@jkryanspark - I just saw EC last night and he played a wonderful version of this song. And he was talking about how if he were to re-write this song he's have a very hard time rhyming with Kardashiens....or Trump ....or Musk. or the 100 or so other people that make our lives terrible.
