5/20/09: Hear the acclaimed singer-songwriter perform a track from his upcoming acoustic album, "Secret, Profane & Sugarcane"

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick On the cigarettes there in the ashtray Lyin' cold the way you left 'em But at least your lips caressed them while you packed Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee That you poured and didn't drink But at least you thought you wanted it that's so much more than I can say for me What a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there The lawn could stand another mowin' Funny I don't even care As you turn to walk away As the door behind you closes The only thing I have to say It's been a good year for the roses After three full years of marriage It's the first time that you haven't made the bed I guess the reason we're not talkin' There's so little left to say we haven't said While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind I find I haven't said a word From the bedroom the familiar sound Of one baby's cryin' goes unheard What a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there The lawn could stand another mowin' Funny I don't even care As you turn to walk away As the door behind you closes The only thing I have to say It's been a good year for the roses

Album: Girls Girls Girls (1989) Permissions: Universal Music Group (Please pardon the typos) Girls Girls Girls is a collection of songs by British singer/songwriter Elvis Costello from the period 1977-1986. Costello chose and ordered the tracks on the album himself, & accompanied them with extensive liner notes. "Riot Act": From the wiped-out sound of this track you'd never guess that these dark thoughts were written on a beautiful beach at dawn. Produced by Nick Lowe. ------------------------- A bit of the liner notes on the making of the album "GET HAPPY" (www.elviscostello.com) This would all come to an end in April of 1979 at Columbus, Ohio, where a ridiculous drunken argument would culminate in me speaking the exact opposite of my true beliefs in an attempt to provoke a fight that inevitably arrived. That I was speaking in some absurd, exaggerated, supposedly ironic humour, in which everything is expressed in the reverse of that which one knows to be true, is no excuse. There was nothing sparkling or glorious about this wordplay, just the seed of madness. It was the product of crazed indulgence. The racial nature of these alleged remarks - I say "alleged" because I have about as much true memory of what actually transpired as any of the other drunken combatants - created a fairly major scandal. Our records were pulled from the few radio play-lists where they were featured, our shows picketed by the very anti-racist organisation for which we had appeared six months ...

Animated video clip of Elvis Costello's "Accidents Will Happen" (1979). High quality sound and video. I uploaded this clip because the other versions of this song on youtube look and sound like second or third generation recordings from VH1. Enjoy the amazing period animation from Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton! The team that brought you Max Headroom! In 2003, this video was one of only 35 videos selected for inclusion in the Museum of Modern Art's prestigious "Golden Oldies Of Music Video" exhibition.

Elvis plays for Warner Brothers employees out on their patio, June 6 1989. Happier times.

Elvis Costello And The Attractions - (I Dont Want To Go To)Chelsea. Top Tune. Alegedly Steven Gerrard's favorate song.

This version is just almost perfect. I like the way Elvis changes just a few things with the melody in every live performance.

Elvis Costello's cover of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful". Costello recorded it expecially for "House MD".
