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 »

I have always needed somebody girl, 
But I close the doors to keep out the world. 
But for you, I would be here all alone, 
Locked in a photograph. 
All of the clocks have run down. 
Lover beware. 
We`ll be the lovers that never were. 

I hang patiently on every word you send. 
Will we ever be much more than just friends? 
As for you, you sit there playing this game, 
You keep me waiting 
When all of the clocks have run down, 
All over the world. 
We`ll be the lovers that never were. 

For as long as the sun shines in somebody`s eyes, 
I believe in you baby, so don`t tell me lies. 
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves, 
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams. 

And I know dear, how much it`s going to hurt 
If you still refuse to get your hands dirty. 
So you, you must tell me something,...i love you, 
Say goodbye or anything. 
All of the clocks have run down. 
Time`s at an end. 
If we can`t be lovers we`ll never be friends. 

For as long as the sun shines in somebody`s eyes, 
I believe in you baby, so don`t tell me lies. 
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves, 
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams.
