More quotes by Elvis Costello
I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.
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
Women hear rhythm differently than men.
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
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've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
Elvis Costello
When in doubt, play track 4 - it is usually the one you want.
Elvis Costello
Those days she was just a beautiful girl, now she's framed and hung up.
Elvis Costello
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.
Elvis Costello
When you work with new people, I think that it throws all of the matters into relief, because you have to explain yourself every time. It's like crossing a new border. They want to see your documents.
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
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.
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.
Elvis Costello
Don't tell me you don't know what love is When you're old enough to know better.
Elvis Costello
I used to be disgusted now I try to be amused.
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
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
My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.
Elvis Costello
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
Elvis Costello
Certain songs have been written years apart, but they have a natural continuity to my mind.
Elvis Costello
