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 »

One second please!

Please Mr. Kennedy (Uh oh!)
I don't wanna go (please don't shoot me into outer space)
P-P-Please Mr. Kennedy (Uh oh!)
I don't wanna go (please don't shoot me into outer space)

I sweat when they stuff me in the pressure suits
Bubble helmet, Flash Gordon boots
Nowhere up there in gravity zero (outer, space)
I need to breathe, don't need to be a hero (outer, space)
Are you reading me loud and clear?
Oh!

Please Mr. Kennedy (Uh oh!)
I don't wanna go (please don't shoot me into outer space)
P-P-Please Mr. Kennedy (Uh oh!)
I don't wanna go (please don't shoot me into outer space)

I'm six-foot two, and so perhaps you'll
Tell me how to fit into a five foot capsule
I won't be known as man of the century
If I burn up upon reentry
Gotta red-blooded wife with a healthy libido
You'll lose her vote if you make her a widow
And who'll play catch out in the back with our kid?
Oh!

Please Mr. Kennedy (Uh oh!)
I don't wanna go (please don't shoot me into outer space)

Countdown!

Oh no!

Please Mr. Kennedy (Uh oh!)
I don't wanna go (please don't shoot me into outer space)
Please (oh please!)
Please (oh please!)
Please (oh please!)
Please don't shoot me into outer space!
Please (oh please!)
Please (oh please!)
Please don't shoot me into outer space!

Please Mr. Kennedy!
