More quotes by Elvis Costello
Some people can't physically hear things. A kid that listens to Metallica or something can't hear that, because he's filled himself up with this stuff, he physically can't hear a banjo or a harp or something.
Elvis Costello
Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
Elvis Costello
The radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel.
Elvis Costello
I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.
Elvis Costello
Now I just don't know who to tell to go to hell Who put the old devil in the distorted angel?
Elvis Costello
Theres so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions And I'm giving you a longing look Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book.
Elvis Costello
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
Elvis Costello
I'm drawing from two generations back how to think about music, how to think about why you travel to make music, what the possible pitfalls of that are for the way your life is structured. The good and bad of all of it get into the mix of what's created, what you're creating.
Elvis Costello
I find humming is very useful.
Elvis Costello
Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
Elvis Costello
It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.
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
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for.
Elvis Costello
There's so many people to see. So many people to check up on and add to your collection.
Elvis Costello
