More quotes by Elvis Costello

Image
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness. I crave the silhouette of your kiss.
Elvis Costello
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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

People tend to repeat the same quotes at me that I said when I was 23. And of course, you say things then, and sometimes they're ill-advised.
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.

Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.

It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for.

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 think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
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.

There was not a lot of rock n roll in the house. Our parents didnt think it was very groovy, and I tend to agree with them. If you grew up with Charlie Parker, Bill Haley wasnt very hip.
Elvis Costello
Image
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.

Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.

You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine.
Elvis Costello
Image
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

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.

Songs are more powerful than books.

Now I just don't know who to tell to go to hell Who put the old devil in the distorted angel?

I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...
