One of their joint compositions, "Veronica", became one of the biggest hits of Costello's career. Costello joked that their collaboration reversed the dynamics one would expect, with Paul being the one who tried to write entire songs in one chord and similar weirdness, and Elvis being the one who was coming up with more melodic material.

* CreatorBreakdown - While creating ''Blood and Chocolate'', Costello had just had a messy divorce, was going through some trouble with his backing band The Attractions, and was rumored to be drinking an absolutely heroic amount of alcohol to cope. It's one of his bitterest albums, and (to some) [[TrueArtIsAngsty one of the most underrated]]. His marital difficulties also contributed to ''Goodbye Cruel World's'' bland [[TheEighties '80s]] production.
