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 »

Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price. 
I'm throwing the dice in the air. 
Why must we learn it the hard way 
And play the game of life with our hearts? 
I gave you my life, you gave me your life. 
Like a gush of wind in my hair. 
Why do we forget what's been said 
And play the game of life with our hearts? 

I may cry someday. A kiss will dry whichever way. 
And when my heart returns to ashes, it will be just a story. 
It will be just a story. 

And you go and try to walk across the lake 
Crossed it with winter and all of this is ice 
A terrible thing to do. They say the lake is as thick as the ocean. 
I wonder if she knew?
