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 »

Summertime withers as the sun descends
He wants to kiss you. Will you condescend?
Before you wake and find a chill within your bones
Under a fine canopy of lover`s dust and humorous bones
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
Eternity stinks, my darling. That`s no joke
Don`t waste your precious time pretending you`re
heartbroken
There will be tears and candles
Pretty words to say
Spare me lily-white lillies
With the awful perfume of decay
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If I`m lost or I`m forgiven
The birds will still be singing

It`s so hard to tear myself away
Even when you know it`s over
It`s too much to say.
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If I`m lost or I`m forgiven
The birds will still be singing
