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 »

Daddy's best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend
But she's never wanted at home
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
She sneaks out her lipstick, powder, and comb
She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
With the bird in his hand
And two on a string
The words of love have an imitation ring

You little fool, little fool, little fool
I suppose that you're going to stay all night
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Don't look at me that way, you know it isn't right
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool

They say no news is good news
The little girl wants information
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
And says go and use your imagination

Daddy's best girl in the world says, "just look what I have got"
As she sits beside him on the high stool
With his arm around her neck, snowball in one hand
And the other full of imitation jewels
She fingers a string of pearls
An imitation but he'll never know it
Imitation lashes flutter above
Looking for an imitation of love

You little fool, little fool, little fool
I suppose that you're going to stay all night
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Don't look at me that way, you know it isn't right
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
