ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS:  ”Possession”

From 1980’s explosion of frenzied perfection, Get Happy!!, this song was written in less than ten minutes, and it looks like it took about that long to shoot the video. All the videos for this album have the same tossed-off, film-it-wherever-we-happen-to-be-at-the-moment quality, which fits perfectly with the tone of the record.

Now you’re sending me your best wishes
Signed with love and vicious kisses
You lack lust, you’re so lacklustre
Is that all the strength you can muster?
Possession….
