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 »

With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty 
Youâ??re going off limits 
Going off duty 
Going off the rails 
Going off with booty 
They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types 
Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes 

The boys next door 
The mums and dads 
New weds and nearly-deads 
Have you ever been had in club land

Thereâ??s a piece in someoneâ??s pocket to do the dirty work 
Youâ??ve come to shoot the pony 
Theyâ??ve come to do the jerk 
They leave him half way to paradise 
They leave you half way to bliss 
The ladiesâ?? invitation never seemed like this 

The boys next door 
The mums and dads 
New weds and nearly-deads 
Have you ever been had in club land

The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town 
Meanwhile in club land they are ready to pull them down 
Hey 

The right to work is traded in for the right to refuse admission 
Donâ??t pass out now, thereâ??s no refund 
(when) did you find out what you were missing 
The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent 
You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment 
Thursday to Saturday 
Moneyâ??s gone already 
Some things come in common these days 
Your hands and work arenâ??t steady 

The boys next door 
The mums and dads 
New weds and nearly-deads 
Have you ever been had in club land
