More quotes by 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
It's a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it.
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
The people with the most resources are the federal government. If you can invade a country halfway across the world in a matter of days, you can surely come to the aid of your own citizens in a shorter order of time.
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.

I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness. I crave the silhouette of your kiss.
Elvis Costello
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.
Elvis Costello
[Commercial radio] is owned by one or two corporations now, and they're not in the music business. They're in the advertising business.... So let's not kid ourselves. If you want to hear music, go buy a guitar.
Elvis Costello
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
Elvis Costello
When they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down.
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 wish you luck with a capital F.
Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio.
Elvis Costello
It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.
Elvis Costello
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
Elvis Costello
