Well you look down your noses
When anyone's having fun
I guess you can't remember
What it's like to be young

You got no fun lovin' spirit left in you at all
Just two young lovers here tryin' to have a ball
It's people like you
Who think that heaven's the place to be

But you're wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong about me
Well you've lied to your children
About what's good and bad
And you falsify the truth
About all the fun that you've had

You always act so goody-goody
With your "thank you, dear" and "please"
But you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong about me
In summation just to bring this to a close

I bet you've done some things yourself
That nobody's supposed to know
Don't forget who you're talkin' to, dear
Because everything you do I see

But you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong about me
Ten commandments, hell!
With me, there's only one
Each individual has the right
The fella next to you has none
You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong about me

Elvis Costello (b. 1954) is an English musician that was a part of the new wave/punk scene who has continued to evolve over the years and remains active, working with a host of collaborators since the late 1970s, including Burt Bacharach, Squeeze, The Pogues, T-Bone Burnette, Paul McCartney, Allen Toussaint, Anne Sofie von Otter, and The Roots.

His primary backing band for much of his career was the Attractions (Steve Nieve, Bruce Thomas, Pete Thomas). After bitter feuding caused bassist Bruce Thomas to permanently leave the band in 1996, former Cracker bassist Davey Faragher joined Nieve and Pete Thomas, with Costello rechristening them The Imposters.
