Why

does it fill me with glee every damn time Elvis Costello sings

'Everybody knows I've been so wrong, that's the problem and here's the hook - '

and then he plays the hook! And sings 'Tears before bedtime, there'll be trouble tonight.'

And some part of my brain just explodes with happiness at that double layer of meaning. Two hooks - narrative and musical structure! Awesome!
