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 »

Such a picture of loveliness 
Didn't you notice the resemblance? 
Doesn't it look like she could speak? 
Those eyes I tried to capture 
They are lost to me now forever 
They smile for someone else 

Funny, how looks can be deceiving 
But she`s not easily 
Painted from memory 

You`d think that I would know by now 
Those eyes I tried to capture 
They are lost to me now forever 
They smile for someone else 

And so this had to be 
Painted from memory 

She is gone, and I must accept it 
She is lost to me now 
But I can`t look away just yet though 
She smiles for someone else 

And so this had to be 
Painted from memory 

Funny, now I can see 
How looks can be deceiving 

And so this had to be 
Painted from memory 

Funny, now I can see 
How looks can be deceiving
