Elvis CostelloElvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more » (5 fans) Written by: Elvis Costello Lyrics © BMG Rights Management, Universal Music Publishing Group Lyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind CitationUse the citation below to add these lyrics to your bibliography:Missing lyrics by Elvis Costello?Know any other songs by Elvis Costello?
