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'm the town crier 
And everybody knows 
I'm a little down 
With a lifetime to go 
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place 
Why don't you take a good look at my face 
Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip 
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip 
I'm never going to cry again 
I'm going to be as strong as them 
They say they'd die for love 
And then they live it out 
They'll give you something to cry about 
And suddenly you really fall to pieces 
I'm the town crier 
And everybody knows 
I'm a little down 
With a lifetime to go 
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place 
Why don't you take a good look at my face 
Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip 
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip 
Love and unhappiness go arm in arm 
Long suffering friends of your fatal charm 
Isn't it a pity that you're going to get hurt 
Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt
