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 walking down Times Square in the electric daylight
The sailors on shore leave stand out in their perfect white
I`m up here with my spying glass at the window of the world
For better or for worse, it`s a perverse universe, my love

Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned oh
Now I know, somehow I don`t feel so alone

You mutter underneath your breath, it echoes round the world
Everybody comes from nowhere
There is hope, it loops up in the air oh

Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned oh
Now I know, somehow I don`t feel so alone

You said I used to be handsome if you screwed up your eyes
Professors and vampires drank up all the tears I cried
Now there`s a bird at my window, he feeds upon the pain
And sometimes he sings to me, a mocking bird in the twilight of infamy oh

Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned oh
Now I know, somehow I don`t feel so alone
Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned oh
Now I know, they've burned one sinner and the others are set to follow

Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
