Declan Patrick MacManus nacido en Londres el 25 de agosto de 1954, conocido como Elvis Costello, es un músico, cantante y compositor británico.
Se inició en la escena pub-rock londinense a mitad de los 70 desde donde vio llegar como observador privilegiado la New Wave y el punk, movimientos con los que se asoció.
En 1975 McManus llevaba una aparente vida convencional, casado y con hijo, y empleándose en diferentes trabajos administrativos. No obstante

@SONG: Indoor Fireworks Elvis Costello Transcribed by [email protected]
(Chords in concert pitch, try playing capo 2nd fret with D, A, G, Em forms) E We play these parlour games
We play at make believe AE/G#F#m When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave AE/G#F#mBE Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try AE/G#F#m We go straight past pretending B To the part where everybody loves to cry (chorus) E Indoor fireworks Can still burn your fingers B Indoor fireworks E We swore we were safe as houses They're not so spectacular AE/G#F#m They don't burn up in the sky
But they can dazzle or delight B Or bring a tear E When the smoke gets in your eyes
You were the spice of life The gin in my vermouth And though the sparks would fly I thought our love was fireproof Sometimes we'd fight in public darling With very little cause But different kinds of sparks would fly When we got on our own behind closed doors
(chorus) It's time to tell the truth These things have to be faced My fuse is burning out And all that powder's gone to waste Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through I'll build a bonfire of my dreams And burn a broken effigy of me and you
(chorus)

T+M: MacManus E We play these parlour games
We play at make believe E7A When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave ABE Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try A We go straight past pretending BC#m To the part where everybody loves to cry
E Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers B Indoor fireworks E We swore we were as safe as houses
They're not so spectecular E7A They don't burn up in the sky B By they can dazzle and delight F#mB Or bring a tear BE When the smoke gets in your eyes
E You were the spice of life
The gin in my vermouth
And though the sparks would fly E7A I thought our love was fireproof A Sometimes we'd fight in public darling BE With very little cause A But different kinds of sparks would fly BC#m When we got on our own behind closed doors
E Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers B Indoor fireworks E We swore we were as safe as houses
They're not so spectecular E7A They don't burn up in the sky B By they can dazzle and delight F#mB Or bring a tear BE When the smoke gets in your eyes
E It's time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out E7A And all the powder's gone to waste ABE Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through A I'll bulid a bonfire of my dreams BC#m And burn a broken effigy of me and you
E Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers B Indoor fireworks E We swore we were as safe as houses
They're not so spectecular E7A They don't burn up in the sky B By they can dazzle and delight F#mB Or bring a tear BE When the smoke gets in your eyes
