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 »

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl. 
And with the way you look I understand 
That you are not impressed. 
But I heard you let that little friend of mine 
Take off your party dress. 
I'm not going to get too sentimental 
Like those other sticky valentines, 
'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody. 
I only know it isn't mine. 
Alison, I know this world is killing you. 
Oh, Alison, my aim is true. 

Well I see you've got a husband now. 
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying 
In the wedding cake? 
You used to hold him right in your hand. 
I'll bet he took all he could take. 
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking 
When I hear the silly things that you say. 
I think somebody better put out the big light, 
Cause I can't stand to see you this way. 

Alison, I know this world is killing you. 
Oh, Alison, my aim is true. 
My aim is true
