Elvis Costello & Billie Joe Armstrong - Alison

Another enigmatic short has appeared on EC’s channel. This time it involves none other than the Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, a band that I very much admire.

I have heard many times that Alison sounds like some kind of death threat: “I think somebody better put out the big light”. What do you think? To what could the “big light” refer? Can you understand what is killing Alison every day of her life? Some problems do have solutions and that relief would involve a frequent them of this project: Justice.

We could be diving for pearls instead we are diving for dear life. Why can’t we dive for pearls? Who is it standing in our way, causing wars off the coast of Argentina and ELSEWHERE.

1 group’s will to enslave and prey does not supersede everyone else’s RIGHT TO LIVE.

This game is all about information - its use and abuse - play it well, my Friends.

They can’t shut down all of us if we’re smart enough to see through them and to understand that it is in our best interests to unite.

Alison lyrics

Elvis Costello

Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
And with the way you look I understand that you were not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress

I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you are loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine

Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true

Well, I see you've got a husband now
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
You used to hold him right in your hand
I bet he takes all he could take

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way

Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true, my aim is true

My aim is true, my aim is true
My aim is true, my aim is true
My aim is true, my aim is true
My aim is true, my aim is true
My aim is true
