Wow, is that really his biggest UK hit? I figured it'd be "Alison" or "Pump It Up" or "Every Day I Write The Book" or "What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding."

It got to Number Two!

Mark this piece is excellent - grebt analysis of the song, the specific points about Costello need making and the general point about the charts is a well-worn one but probably does need restating again and again.

(i think we should get him to do the other 55 songs as well ;))

Alison not even a hit according to everyhit! "I can't stand up for falling down" and "Goodier for the roses" his only other top tens...
