Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus on 25 August 1954) is an internationally known English singer-songwriter. Gaining prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-70s, he burst into fame with his critically acclaimed 1977 debut 'My Aim Is True', still one of the most successful debuts of all time. He soon did much work in the genres of punk rock, power pop, and New Wave after he formed Elvis Costello & The Attractions.

Girls Talk - Elvis Costello
AGD AGD
AGDAGD There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder AG I thought I heard you mention my name DE Can't you talk any louder? F#m Don't come any closer E/G# Don't come any nearer AD My vision of you can't get any clearer AGDAGD Oh I just want to hear girls talk AGDE I got a loaded imagination being fired by girls' talk F#mE/G# But I can't say the words you want to hear AD I suppose you're going to have to play it by ear AG Right here and now D Girls talk AG And they want to know how D Girls talk AG And they say it's not allowed D Girls talk
If they say that it's so E Don't you think that I know by now?
That the word upon everyone's lips Stick that you're dedicated Though you may not be an old-fashioned girl You're still going to get dated Was it really murder? Were you just pretending? Lately I have heard you are the living end
Girls talk and they wanna know about her Girls talk they wanna know if I care Girls talk and they wanna know where yeah Girls talk Girls talk
