"Beyond Belief," it seems to me, is about a bar-room drunk making a feeble pass at a woman, and his own sense of worthlessness and alienation both before and after the predictable rejection. Always clever, Elvis here gets in a few of his better puns: "charged with insult and flattery," "I might make it California's fault," etc. "Almost Blue" is superb. "Not all good things come to an end, now / It's only a chosen few" -- brilliant.
