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 »

Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades. 
The last rays of September bejewelled broken blades. 
But there's someone that I long for. 
Oh, where have you been? 
As the red earth lies under a covering of green. 
Do you trip on the city's golden gutters and kerbs? 
As the seasons grow wild and the ground undisturbed. 
'Til you find what you are now 
Is less than you've been; 
As the red earth lies under a covering of green. 
Is patience exhausted? 
Are your pockets picked clean? 
I was lost in the next world 
Or somewhere in between. 
And it's much as predicted, 
They go down that same track. 
They say they'll return 
But they never come back. 
Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades. 
The lest rays of September bejewelled broken blades. 
Are you still restless
Or are you serene? 
As the red earth lies under just a covering of green.
