Alison (song)

Common card · No. 332785

"Alison" is a song written by and first recorded by English musician Elvis Costello in 1977 for his debut album My Aim Is True on Stiff Records. Costello claimed the song was written as an ode to a woman he saw working at a supermarket, though he has remained vague on the meaning. Though Costello's single never charted, it has become one of his most critically acclaimed songs. Linda Ronstadt, who covered the song and released her version in 1979, had a moderate hit with it.
