  • Almost Blue Elvis Costello

    Almost blue
    Almost doing things we used to do
    There’s a girl here and she’s almost you
    Almost
    All the things that your eyes once promised
    I see in hers too
    Now your eyes are red from crying
    Almost blue

    Flirting with this disaster became me
    It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

    Almost blue
    It’s almost touching, it will almost do
    There is part of me that’s always true
    Always
    Not all good things come to an end
    Now it is only a chosen few
    I have seen such an unhappy couple
    Almost me
    Almost you
    Almost blue









  • This reminds me of a movie from the early 90s called Crazy People. An ad exec has a nervous breakdown and ends up in an institution. He accidentally sends off truthful ads that he and the other patients write, they get produced, and they are very successful. It was a pretty funny movie. Some examples of the campaigns

    “Metamucil: It helps you go to the toilet. If you don’t use it, you’ll get cancer and die.”

    “You may think phone service stinks since deregulation, but don’t mess with us, because we’re all you’ve got. In fact, if we fold, you’ll have no damn phones. AT&T - we’re tired of taking your crap!”

    “Paramount Pictures presents ‘The Freak.’ This movie won’t just scare you, it will fuck you up for life.”

    “Porsche. It’s a little too small to get laid IN, but you get laid the minute you get out!”

    “Volvos, Yes they are boxy, but they’re safe”.
