It's a movie I remember from when I was a kid, so must be a mid '70s movie at the latest...I thought Christopher Lee was in it, but I looked him up on IMDB and couldn't see it... Plot is... The wreck of the titanic is found at the bottom of the sea like 50 years after it sank...Divers go down to sal...

Lovely, I was strangely overlooked in the New Years Honours list, so that makes up for it...

Ok, A very rough recording it is....I only had my electric to hand, so it's a bit twangy, and I think I got the structure wrong for the last chorus, but it should give you an idea... http://www.geocities.com/anjabro33 ...click on 'You turned to me' to download it..

OK, here's a stab at 'You turned to me'... The main run which is the intro is...

Legal..?? The squabbles are well known, I didn't realise they'd ever got legal, though...Any more on that..?

This is from a little further back, but doesn't sound too friendly... http://www.elviscostello.info/articles/o-q/q8903a.html ".....there's not much point us getting together just to do old stuff, and they're not playing as a band on the new record, so for the time being until we get back and do...

Good idea...

I was setting up a new computer in my daughters' bedroom, and I was typing random words into Google image search as I was checking the broadband connection... I typed in 'Yahoo' and there, 8th on the list, was a picture of EC playing his guitar on stage.....it's still there as of now... http://image...

Random thought after watching 'Lord of War'...

Why, in America, is it 'Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms '

That sounds to me like 'Bureau of Shoplifters, Jaywalkers and Serial Killers '

I think it sounds like "were." I often think when he sings " Put " , it sounds like " Pooed " There's a couple I've noticed, but the only one I can think of at the minute is... " So I pooed on my overcoat" ...from American without Tears. I'm so immature. :oops:

Speaking of mortal sins, I read in a book the other day that the only method of suicide not considered a mortal sin by the Catholic church is fasting, because it's seen as a way of purifying the body/soul, and becoming closer to God....(It was a work of fiction so I don't know if it's true or not......

I thought it tasted funny....

Our brief acquaintance,
Was such a mistake,
Now it seems more like a sentence,
Or something you always have to fake,
This magic moment,
concludes when they turn out the lights,
It's not the days when you leave me,
But all I fear are the nights

I did.

I just didn't say anything.
