Per wiki:  Elvis Costello’s “Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack Album” (2015) collection is a companion to Elvis Costello’s memoir Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink and includes two previously unreleased tracks: I Can’t Turn It Off and April 5th.

It’s a 2-disc set, each disc almost 80 minutes of music. Amazing how much music included on here. It was very difficult to choose a song from the one disc I listened to tonight settled on one originally on “King of America” (which I own), called, “Indoor Fireworks.”

 

We play these parlour games
We play at make believe
When we get to the part where I say that I’m going to leave
Everybody loves a happy ending but we don’t even try
We go straight past pretending
To the part where everybody loves to cry

Chorus:
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
Indoor fireworks
We swore we were safe as houses
They’re not so spectacular
They don’t burn up in the sky
But they can dazzle or delight
Or bring a tear
When the smoke gets in your eyes

You were the spice of life
The gin in my vermouth
And though the sparks would fly
I thought our love was fireproof
Sometimes we’d fight in public darling
With very little cause
But different kinds of sparks would fly
When we got on our own behind closed doors

(Chorus)

It’s time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out
And all that powder’s gone to waste
Don’t think for a moment dear that we’ll ever be through
I’ll build a bonfire of my dreams
And burn a broken effigy of me and you

(Chorus)
