Migdd asked: "Where's She's Pulling OUt the Pin?" Here is an excerpt taken from http://www.costellonews.com explaining:
""She's Pulling Out the Pin" is a classic piece of Costello lyrical imagery, twinning the plight of the female suicide bomber with that of the pole dancer letting down her hair. Costello says the song "juxtaposes the most heartless part of our culture and the most desperate part of another culture. Two women's fates. It's just a bald telling of it. It doesn't have a judgement. They're both desperate, dead-end jobs," he says. Interestingly, this song will not be on the US version of the album because, he says, "it slows the flow". Might it also be that any hint of understanding of the plight of "terrorists" is too contentious an idea for the US?"
Does anyone know if this song will be included on the UK version of the disc? Also, those of you who have heard the song, would it be worth it for me (and other US fans) to try and get a UK import if it is on it?

Oh. That's nice, I suppose. The problem with the extra Japanese tracks is that the track is often completely out of context. The extra tracks on White Blood Cells and Elephant (to name just two) were more than welcome, but adding an extra track to The Streets latest concept album just didn't make sense.johnfoyle wrote:The Japanese edition will have an additional track , as well as 'Pin. It will be The Monkey, presumably a cover of the Bartholemew track
So on the back of The Scarlet Tide, I'll get a track that begins with the lines "Now, three monkeys sat in a coconut tree..".
Of course I'll get it, but the first thing I'll do is make a copy without the monkeys.
