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 »

So you're tryin' to make connections
You heard whispers in the hall
She'll be out again this evening
When you come around to call
So you dodge the lady killer
Who came creapin' 'cross the floor
Then you're caught up in a whirlwind
You got blown right out the door
Ah yes, it was a whirlwind
Sweet romance was on your side
Er, if you want to dance on my face
You must tell me why yer lied

[Chorus:]
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I'll go out of my mind if I'm losing your touch

I see the look of recognition
So well hidden in your eye
And your peep-show regulations
That just don't seem to apply
Did I see yer in the circus
In the ring without a hand
Now you think that you can curse us
Steal the show and stop the band
Ah, you can follow your dream
Oh but please don't lead me on
Er, if you want to bleed? in my face
Er, you were here and now you're gone

[Chorus:]

I'll go out of my mind if I'm losing your touch (repeat x3)
