Elvis Costello
I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years.And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.
Elvis Costello
And obviously, when I started out, I had a little bit more curiosity than some, and went seeking out the original artists, or in some cases searching up country music.
Elvis Costello
Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
Elvis Costello
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine.
Elvis Costello
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
Elvis Costello
They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio.
Elvis Costello
