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 »

Little triggers that you pull with your tongue
Little triggers, I don't want to be hung up, strung up
When you don't call up

Little sniggers on your lips
Little triggers in your grip
Little triggers--my hand on your hip

Thinkin' all about those censored sequences
Worryin' about the consequences
Waiting until I come to my senses
Better put it all in present tenses

Little sniggers on your lips
Little triggers in your grip
Little triggers--my hand on your hip

Worryin' about the common decency
When it is only a question of frequency
When you say OK but you've got cheek to be
Sayin' you're tired of me when you don't even weaken these
Little sniggers on your lips
Little triggers in your grip
Little triggers--my hand on your hip
