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 »

The accused will rise to be torn in two
Guilty of nothing but loving you
This is the judgement
And I'm willing to plead

How you don't want me
Hoping this torment will cease
Will I be released?
There'll be lies, there'll be tears

A jury of your peers
With a pitiful lack of experience
Hand down the judgement
And if I done wrong

And loved you too long
Stand up and just testify
How can I deny?
Objection overruled

I wait for my reprieve
With the trust of the deceived
The wisdom of the fool
It's his sorrowful face

Too heavy for his head
'Cause he bowed it as something come over him
It was the judgement
He falls to his knees

Have mercy on me
He clings to the hem of her gown
She says, "Just take him down."
