Elvis Costello

Elvis 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 »

"I'm trouble" she said 
Spread out on the floor of her father's house 
Her promise was almost undone 
Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities 
To finally deny everyone with every unflattering comparison 
All grown up 
And you don't care anymore 
And you hate all the people that you used to adore 
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before 
Did I hear you right? 
You're feeling hounded and pushed around 
You want to just lay down and die 
If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you 
Why don't you stop blaming some guy 
And go give the next one a try 
All grown up 
And you don't care anymore 
And you hate all the people that you used to adore 
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before 
But look at yourself 
You'll see you're still so young 
You haven't earned the weariness 
That sounds so jaded on your tongue 
"I'm weak" she says 
And blesses herself and gets into bed 
Clutching the covers to her throat 
"So punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life" 
"This night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that 
You wrote" 
All grown up 
And you don't care anymore 
And you hate all the people that you used to adore 
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before
