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

I used to be disgusted now I try to be amused.
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

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.

Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.
Elvis Costello
Image
Why can't a man stand alone? Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his own? His skin and his station, his kin and his crown, his flag and his nation They just weigh him down

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

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?

It's a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it.
Elvis Costello
Image
But there are things in Il Sogno that the methods of The Delivery Man could never achieve.
Elvis Costello
Image
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
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.

Theres so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
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.
Elvis Costello

I wish you luck with a capital F.

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