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 »

This tattered document
A mystery you can solve
Some burnt out filament
Flies buzzing around the bulb

Country darkness

He thought of traveling
Heard an approaching train
Drown out his desperate pulse
A song with no refrain

Country darkness

She daydreams forbidden sings
There must be something more
The prison she lives in
The one with the open door

Country darkness

The veil is covering 
A glistening and cruel blade
Suffer little children
Repent, unfaithful maid

Country darkness
