I stood front and centre of the crowd about 15 feet from Elvis at the Albert Hall when he toured this album. At the time I modelled my look on him (I was 17!!) and had thick horn rimmed glasses.
I might have imagined it in my fevered adulation but, I swear he looked me in the eye for an inordinate amount of time when he sang this song.
Now every time I hear it I think of the time when, for a short spell, I was Elvis’ Science Fiction Twin.
I love this song and agree with previous posters. It’s about the personas that famous people have bestowed on them by the media and the general public. The twin is the Elvis that Declan reads about in the tabloids and thinks “I didnt do that….or did I?”
