More quotes by Elvis Costello
If I am frightened then I can hide it If I am crying, I'll call it laughter If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend If I am bleeding I'll call it wine But if you leave me then I am broken And if I'm broken then only death remains
Elvis Costello
As I walk through This wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity, I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside, There's one thing I wanna know: What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love, & Understanding?
Elvis Costello
It's a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it.
Elvis Costello
There's so many people to see. So many people to check up on and add to your collection.
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
She said she was working for the ABC news, it was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use.
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 the damage that we do and never know. It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.
Elvis Costello
The radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel.
Elvis Costello
It's a petty thing, but I wouldn't join the Scouts when I was a kid, 'cause you had to swear allegiance to the queen. I'm just not a royalist. I think it's idiotic, a hereditary principle.
Elvis Costello
I can write orchestrations, but I can't sight-read music and play at the same time. I don't have enough facility.
Elvis Costello
Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.
Elvis Costello
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.
Elvis Costello
I've always felt writing a song was a bit like going on location. That's true in an almost literal sense. Where you are seeps in somehow.
Elvis Costello
I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.
Elvis Costello
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
It's not crazy to want to have certain songs be developed harmonically and still want to make noise with the guitar. And you can have both.
Elvis Costello
When in doubt, play track 4 - it is usually the one you want.
Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.
Elvis Costello
