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 »

As I stepped out upon the landing my heart was already down the stairs 
She's in the bedroom with that boy of hers 
Though her face is creased and her eyes seem strange 
There's a second-hand emotion on battered forty-five 
My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive 
Now she seems contrite will she make the change 

[Chorus:]
The next time 'round 
The next time 'round 
You'll be someone else's baby 
But I'll be underground 
The next time 'round 

Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back 
Now it's a future for me and you that I lack 
You'll be the one who'll stands out in the dark 
Even when you're all dressed in black 

[Chorus:]

You've got something I want now 
And I've got something I can't hide 
I've got too much love for you now 
Have you got too much pride 
Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me 

Your elastic love, this velvet-line purgatory 
You used to take the breath out of me 
Now I think you'll be the death of me 

[Chorus:]

You'll be in some sputnik baby 
But I'll be underground
