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 know what I would do 
If this letter should fall into 
Other hands than it should pass through
For other eyes 

He said,"It was nothing...it's over and done"
But the rotten worm was burrowing still 
It's invades me bleeding me white 
For other replies
I searched his pockets 
I searched his eyes 
I searched his wallet for clues and lies 
And I found a number that I somehow dialed
A woman answered, a woman smiled
Then she hung up on the silence unperplexed
Innocently she spun her Rolodex
I dialed again I could not resist
Revealing just the dentist receptionist 

One day we'll laugh about it or maybe we'll curse
But there is one thing that is making it worse
And it's the lack of forgiveness that I can't disguise
No matter how well he lies 
Now we don't know each other anymore 
And when we touch our lips feel sore
I question the longing left in his sighs 
For other eyes
