"Imagination (Is A Powerful Deceiver)", by Elvis Costello. This is a very attractive little song, in the vein of songs like "Alison". It appears as a bonus track on one of the many reissues of "My Aim Is True". Well, it may appear on more than one, but it is certainly on the one I own, which is a two-disc set from 2001. But enough of that.
This song was, apparently, recorded in 1974 or 1975. Imagine that! It is not a huge leap, I am surprised (and pleased) to notice, from a song like this to, say, "Clown Strike", from 1994's "Brutal Youth", which is perhaps the last genuinely "great" (my opinion) EC album.
