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 »

You got me up
You got me down
Hard to the ground
Or flying around

You call me back
Back to the start
Another labyrinth
Where I get lost

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
I can't afford to lose another bet

We start to fight
I put up my palms
Some hands are swift and sleight
And deceptive like dreams
And words like screams
That you let go
You take scissors to the cards
And the hand I won't show

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
I can't afford to lose another bet

Let in my dear
Did you lose your way
Remember the rules of the game that we play

You got me up
You got me down
Hard to the ground
Or flying around

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
I can't afford to lose another bet

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
