We got on fine - turns out I knew one of Maureen's next door neighbours, who wanted to know why I was there, so Emily & I knew a bit about her even before we met . Along with everything else she told us, she didn't really need to say she was a Elvis fan - had been since she was 14 - but can I find an Elvis pun involving curtains? Well, there is a reference to 'bringing the curtain down' in the spoken bridge in "Are you lonesone tonight?"

"Honey, you lied when you said you loved me

And I had no cause to doubt you

But I'd rather go on hearing your lies

Than go on living without you

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there

With emptiness all around

And if you won't come back to me

Then make them bring the curtain down"

Should I admit to knowing this? I think Emily had only just about heard of Elvis
