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.

More quotes by 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
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 can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.

Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone.
Elvis Costello
What do we care, if the world is a joke? We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke. Death wears a big hat cause he's a big bloke.
Elvis Costello
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
