Plus the piano intro sounds like "Dancing Queen". Elvis openly admitted that he was inspired by ABBA when he wrote this, though.

LOL! I was wondering if anyone else noticed the similarity between this and "Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)"!

That's the world we live in today. I used to think the line was "one more way to one less white nigger," which also works imo. Capital-C Classic EC song, in any case.

What's interesting is that when somebody impersonated Elvis Costello on "Stars in Their Eyes", the lyric was changed to "one white figure"...which of course negates the point he was actually making about prejudice.

Yeah, it's interesting to hear the song now as a 'grown-up'...I always imagined it was about something 'serious', but now I get the Cromwell reference, the 'white nigger' line, the mention of Palestine, etc. It was fantastic to dress up such a bitter and political song in such a gorgeous melody.
