Song: "Good Year for the Roses"
Artist: Elvis Costello
Album: Almost Blue (1981)
Elvis Costello covered a bunch of old country tunes on this album. I think his voice sounds great on this version of "Good Year for the Roses". Maybe 2008 will be a good year for the roses.
Best line: "I guess the reason we're not talkin, there's so little left to say we haven't said"

This is one of my favorite songs (although I prefer the George Jones version). I find it to be one of the most subtly depressing songs ever recorded.
My favorite lines are:
"Or the lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didnt drink....But at least you thought you wanted it and that's so much more than i can say for me"
The Possum's version is definitely THE version of the song that kills. I just found this to be an interesting (and ultimately good) version by a guy I wouldn't really expect to cover the song. I'm a big Costello fan, and he does a pretty loyal cover, imo.
