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 »

Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six 
He thinks of all the lips that he licks 
And all the girls that he's going to fix 
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle 
But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle 
Capital punishment, she's last year's model 
They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie 
I don't want to go to Chelsea 
Oh no it does not move me 
Even though I've seen the movie 
I don't want to check your pulse 
I don't want nobody else 
I don't want to go to Chelsea 
Everybody's got new orders 
Be a nice girl and kiss the warders 
Now the teacher is away 
All the kids begin to play 
Men come screaming, dressed in white coats 
Shake you very gently by the throat 
One's named Gus, one's named Alfie 
I don't want to go to Chelsea 
Oh no it does not move me 
Even though I've seen the movie 
I don't want to check your pulse 
I don't want nobody else 
I don't want to go to Chelsea 
Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six 
He thinks of all the lips that he licks 
And all the girls that he's going to fix 
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle 
But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle 
Capital punishment, she's last year's model 
They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie 
I don't want to go to Chelsea 
Oh no it does not move me 
Even though I've seen the movie 
I don't want to check your pulse 
I don't want nobody else 
I don't want to go to Chelsea
