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 don't wanna kiss you
I don't wanna touch
I don't wanna see you
'Cause I don't miss you that much

I'm not a telephone junkie
I told you that we were just good friends
But when I hold you like I hold
That Bakelite in my hands

There's no action
There's no action
There's no action
And ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you down

He's got the keys to the car
They are the keys to the kingdom
He's got ev'rything you need
It's a shame that he didn't bring them

I'm not a telephone junkie
If I'm inserting my coin I'm doing just fine
And the things in my head
Start hurtin' my mind

And I think about the way things used to be
Knowing you with him is driving me crazy
Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely
But I always disconnect it in time

There's no action
There's no action
There's no action
And ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you

And ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you
And ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you down

There's no action
There's no action
There's no action
Ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you down
