Meanest Love Songs: No. 14
'I Want You'
--Elvis Costello (1986)
From perhaps the ultimate kiss-off artiste -- on this album alone, 'Blood and Chocolate,' he gave us the sweet nothings 'I Hope You're Happy Now' and 'Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head' -- Costello outdid himself with these chilling, murderous seven minutes. "I want you so it scares me to death," he sings, but it won't be his death. Download Elvis Costello on Napster

I always thought Elvis Costello was 100% pure suck!

Obviously, you have no musical taste then!

To Shady: Well if you think you have better tastes than someone else. Whatever. It's not like he sold a lot of albums or concert tickets. He was more hype than anything. All of his songs got on my nerves. Your the the first person to complain about my post, 2 months after I posted it.
