Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »

I feel such sorrow
I feel such shame 
I know I won't arrive on time 
Before whatever out there is gone
What can I do? That day is done

It's just a promise that I made 
I said I'd walk in her parade
Hot scalding tears I thought would flow
Still, in my heart they'll never show

[Chorus]
That day is done, that day is done
You know where I've gone
I won't be coming back 
That day is done

Well, I recall the time and place 
When they announced her precious face
I thought at once my heart would burst
Still, every time is like the first

There was applause when she stepped up
I wished that I could interrupt
I made no sign, I made no sound 
I know I must stay underground

[Chorus]

That's why she walks, or so they say
She always knew just what I needed 
Now, if she would just look my way 
One time before they proceed

She sprinkles flowers in the dirt 
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt
I know I'll never see her face
She walks away from my resting place

[Chorus]
