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 »

If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything that you need,
There's no need to be evasive,
Money talks, and it's persuasive.

[Chorus]

Possession

Now you're sending me your best wishes,
Tied with love and vicious kisses,
You lack lust; you're so lackluster,
Is that all the strength you can muster?

[Chorus]

Even when we are out of touch,
Now I know that I've seen too much,
Seen too much
So I see us lying back to back,
My case is closed, my case is packed,
I'll get out before the violence,
Or the tears, or the silence.

[Chorus]
