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 »

Don't send any money!
Fate has no price 
Ignore at your peril this splendid advice
An invaluable link in an infinite chain 
An offer like this will just not come again

You wish you had women to charm and bewitch 
Power of life and death over the rich young girls will be swooning 
Because you're exciting them 
And not only fall at your feet but be biting them 

Guaranteed, guaranteed to capture your breath 
Or just possibly scare you to death 
Sign it and seal it and send it to friends 
But don't mention my name 
Don't make any long term plans 

In thirty-six hours your fortunes will change 
Your best friends won't know you 
And neither will strangers 
Do not keep this letter 
It must leave your hand 
You have been selected from over five thousand 

A twister or dupe will bamboozle or hoodwink you 
I can't say anymore it would only confuse you 
The wine that they offer will go to your head 
And you'll start to see double in fishes and bread

Guaranteed, guaranteed for a lifetime or more
Guaranteed, for this world and the next 
Guaranteed, guaranteed for the world and it's mother
Cherish this life as you don't get another one 

Unless you should take up this fabulous offer 
Don't leave it too late or you'll be bound to suffer
And woebetide anyone so woebegone
You won't know you're born or about to pass on 

You'll never be tired
You'll never be bored 
By the way I just hope you're insured 
And if you're not satisfied 
If you want more 
We can always provide an improved overture
Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable
This offer is unrepeatable

Your troubles will vanish 
Your tears will dry 
Your blessings just multiply
Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable 
This offer is unrepeatable

Guaranteed, guaranteed to bring fortune and fame 
In a riot of colors, a variety of flavors 
Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable
This offer is unrepeatable

Would I lie to you? Would I sell you a dud?
Just sing on the line 
Could you possibly write it in blood?
