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 »

Here comes Mr. Misery 
He's tearing out his hair again 
He's crying over her again 
He's standing in the super-market shouting at the customers 
Here comes Mr. Misery 
He'll never be any good with a mouth full of gold and blood 
He's contemplating murder again 
He must be in love 

[Chorus:]
But you know she doesn't want you 
But you can't seem to get it in your head 
Oh and you can't sleep at night 
And she haunts you when you go to bed 
When you're tired of talking and you can't drink it down 
So you hang around and drown instead 
Home isn't where it used to be 
Home is anywhere you hang your head 
You hang your head 
Home is anywhere 
You hang your head 
Home is anywhere 
You hang your head 
Home is anywhere you hang your head 

Here comes Mr. Misery 
Looking for a place for his mouth to shoot 
Saying "You'd look cute in your birthday suit" 
You tore him out and screwed him up 
Like a bad page in a naughty picture book 
They day ended as it began 
As he was seconds older than the man he was this morning 
And the world has wiped it's mouth since then 
Or maybe it was yawning 

[Chorus]
