Subject: TAB:the_other_end_of_the_telescope by elvis_costello


>From the wonderful Elvis disk All This Useless Beauty. A previous
version of this song can be found on the Til Tuesday album Everything's
Different Now. Elvis co-wrote this one with Aimee Mann but changed the
lyrics and (in my opinion) made the song better for this version.
This song is (c) 1996 Warner Bros Records. I'm sure Elvis has some
publishing rights as does Aimee Mann...
