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 »

All through the night you telephoned 
I saw the light blinking red 
Beside the cradle 
But you don`t know how far I`ve gone 
Now I must live with the lie 
That I made 
But if I call, I know I won`t have to say it 
You`ll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it 

But do people living in Toledo 
Know that their name hasn't traveled very well? 
And does anybody in Ohio 
Dream of that Spanish citadel? 
But it`s no use saying that I love you 
And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me 
For if anyone should look into your eyes 
It`s not forgiveness that they`re gonna see 

You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" 
You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" 

So I walked outside in the bright 
Sunshine and lovers pass by 
Smiling and joking 
But they don`t know the fool I was 
Why should they care what was lost 
What was broken? 

But if I call, I know I won`t have to say it 
You`ll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it 

But do people living in Toledo 
Know that their name hasn't traveled very well? 
And does anybody in Ohio 
Dream of that Spanish citadel? 
But it`s no use saying that I love you 
And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me 
For if anyone should look into your eyes 
It`s not forgiveness that they`re gonna see 

But do people living in Toledo 
Know that their name hasn't traveled very well? 
And does anybody in Ohio 
Dream of that Spanish citadel? 
But we still have Florence, Alabama 
We don`t have Paris, and we don`t have Rome
