• Track Listing

After five inventive albums released in the early ’80s and a long-awaited 2007 album, "Life in Reverse," Clive Gregson’s band has reversed back with a vengeance and is sounding more melodic and hard-hitting than ever. "Present Tense" portends the future of Elvis Costello’s heir apparent, including songs "Learning How to Lose," "Great Big City," "It Doesn’t Mean a Thing," "Rocking Horse," "I Just Don’t Get It," "She’s Not Like All the Other Girls," "God’s Little Joke," "Lighthouse" and more! Cherry Red.
