Today is the birthday of Declan Patrick MacManus, better known to the world as Elvis Costello. There were a lot of songs I could have picked to mark that occasion, but why not “All This Useless Beauty”?
♫ “All This Usless Beauty” by Elvis Costello
It’s at times such as this, she’d be tempted to spit
If she wasn’t so ladylike
She imagines how she might have lived
Back when legends and history collide
