I work very hard on getting the songs ... direct and examined,
number offensive pressure
We know they'll put pressure on us and, number one, we have to be able to rebound. We especially have to keep them off the offensive boards.
attitude play people
The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
big-fish ponds headache
I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.
lonely glasses needs
I love the sound of breaking glass Especially when Im lonely I need the noises of destruction When theres nothing new.
outsiders mainstream felt
I've always felt quite like an outsider. I don't really belong in the mainstream, and I quite like that.
taken talking interesting
The older I get, there doesn't seem to be anything remotely more interesting than talking about love and the lack of it and what happens when it's taken away from someone who's had it.
attitude redneck musician
Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician, but he knew all about the attitude part of it.

Even if I was really prolific - which I'm not - I think I'd always put at least a couple of covers on my record. I think it's a sort of healthy thing to do. It shows that you're not totally self-obsessed.
rocks littles rock-n-roll
These days, rock 'n' roll is much more about rock than about roll. I don't do rock. But I'm interested in that roll part, because that's the funny little bit that makes it hip.
world welcome domination
If anyone comes along, I'm more than happy to welcome them, but I'm not interested in world domination.
musician depth culmination
A devastating culmination of the elegant and the funky, a really sensational musician with enormous depth.
couple orange walnuts
I loved Christmas. We had a really great time. But there wasn't - it was all - you had to be happy with, you know, an orange and a couple of walnuts, you know, in your stocking.
feet phones watches
I used to sort of take the phone off the hook, you know, put my feet up and watch the TV until it was all over.
