Seconds Of Pleasure, 1980
Written by Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner, Nick Lowe, and Terry Williams
You can hear the Elvis Costello influence in this catchy Britpop song about a broken heart, or maybe you can hear Nick Lowe's influence in Declan's music? I think they influenced and supported each other; why didn't they ever form a songwriting tea? They would have given Lennon/McCartney and Difford/Tilbrook a run for their money. Over a muscular drum backbone and towering organ lines, Lowe sings his literate lines of love: "And when I write the book about my love / It will be about a man who's torn in half / About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years / The pain will be written on every page in tears."
