More quotes by Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
It's the damage that we do and never know. It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.
Elvis Costello
I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.
Elvis Costello
Life for me is about movement.
Elvis Costello
You've got a chemistry class I want a piece of your mind You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine.
Elvis Costello
When you work with new people, I think that it throws all of the matters into relief, because you have to explain yourself every time. It's like crossing a new border. They want to see your documents.
Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello
The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark. It scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark.
Elvis Costello
My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.
Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello
I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.
Elvis Costello
I became an altar boy because of the solemn face, but I got thrown out at fourteen for laughing. Because the priest used to mumble everything except the church plate takings.
Elvis Costello
Clowntime is over Time to take cover While others just talk and talk Somebody's watching where the others don't walk.
Elvis Costello
I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...
Elvis Costello
I've never had any real concern about posterity. I hope some people will be sorry when I'm not here, but I'm not playing for that.
Elvis Costello
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it. Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit.
Elvis Costello
I wanna bite the hand that feeds me. I wanna bite that hand so badly. I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.
Elvis Costello
Don't tell me you don't know what love is When you're old enough to know better.
Elvis Costello
It's a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it.
Elvis Costello
You need a platform upon which to release an orchestral record, otherwise it's just going to be an obscurity.
Elvis Costello
