my favourite song bar none, by Elvis Costello and off his best album (king of america) IMO....
an intensely haunting yet gorgeous song sung with the feeling it deserves... 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]

was a bit bored on nightshift last night and was trying to think of artists that are overlooked or predominantly forgotten by the masses but deserve being given credit where credit is due and these two came to mind straight away:
Joan Armatrading Drop The Pilot (HQ Audio) - YouTube Janis Ian - At Seventeen (Live, 1976) - YouTube

The one track that probably informed a whole lot of my subsequent listening. Having a nostalgic moment ...
That, and this ...
