Elvis Costello
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone.
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
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it. Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit.
