Our Declan's had a bit of a chequered career...I lost track of it some years ago...
'Alison' (covered by a certain Ms Ronstadt!) and 'Pump It Up' were his best efforts here...5
'Radio', 'Accidents', 'Falling Down', 'Detectives', 'Oliver's Army', 'Chelsea' and 'Red Shoes'...all 4
'Everyday I Write The Book' and 'Shipbuilding' (much better cover by Robert Wyatt)...both 3
Everything else I'm not totally aware of, but I'm quite convinced Charles Aznavour's original version of 'She' will never be bettered!)

i just want to say that my dad owns the 'bells of dublin' cd by the chieftains, and on it elvis costello sings the song 'St. Stephens Day Murders'. it is an excellent song, and although a christmas song, is very good, and you should listen to and rate that :)

hmm..now that I think about it, Rivers does kinda look like Elvis...a little
Pinkerton is an amazing album (the best thing Weezer ever did)...it is one of my favorite albums fromt he 90s, and definitly goes on my top 100 albums list......amazing album...it is the Pet Sounds of the 90s
