More quotes by Elvis Costello
When they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down.
Elvis Costello
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
I mistrust these people in music industry who can be everybody. This is where technology dictates to them. I mistrust that, that in somehow the chips capture the soul of a player, that's patent nonsense.
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?
Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello
My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant, someone who disrupts the daily drag of life just enough to leave the victim thinking there's maybe more to it all than the mere hum-drum quality of existence.
Elvis Costello
Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters, and a German sense of humour.
Elvis Costello
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
Elvis Costello
But there are things in Il Sogno that the methods of The Delivery Man could never achieve.
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 could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
