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 »

So you`re trying to make connection, you heard whispers in the hall
She`ll be out again this evening, when you come around to call
So, you dodge the lady-killer, who came creepin` `cross the floor
Then you caught up in a whirlwind, you got blown right out the door

Oh, yes it was a whirlwind, sweet romance was on your side
If you want to dance on my face, you must tell me why you lied

Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch

I see a look of recognition, so well hidden in your eye
And your peepshow regulations, they just don`t seem to apply,
Well, did I see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band

Oh, you can follow your dreams, oh but please don`t lead me on,
If you want to bleed in my face, you were here and now you`re gone

Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch
