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 »

The ink is running, the words are taught
I'm sitting helpless with my paper and charts
I had to follow my passion, oh well

I don't get paid that much for all I deserve
To waste a sentence or shatter my nerves
I had to follow my passion, oh well

Sometimes I long to run outside
I'd give it all up but it's my pride
Oh well, oh well

I had a dream once or so I thought
I'd be a pilot or an astronaut
I had a dream like that until I found

Even an astronaut goes into the ground
Life is just passing us bye, bye
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
