Testo della canzone Byline (Elvis Costello), tratta dall'album Hey Clockface
Byline - Elvis Costello
I read by line, by line, by line
Some words of yours, some words of mine
Some sentiments are best forgot
Some letters read then folded shut
The profile on a postage stamp
I traced it by my reading lamp
Remembered when I'd sit and wait
Then marked our parting from that date
I read by line, by line, by line
That old sarcastic Valentine
That you denied you'd sent to me
Then took it back
It's a thought that we shared, a careless phrase
A curse or a joke, some words of praise
But I didn't write
Did you wonder why?
It was the easiest way to say "Goodbye"
You'll see my photo beside the article
That's just some guy I used to know
I was never his
He was always mine
But I wrote him off by line, by line
By line, by line, by line, by line
By line, by line, by line, by line
Some words of yours, some words of mine
Some sentiments are best forgot
Some letters read then folded shut
The profile on a postage stamp
I traced it by my reading lamp
Remembered when I'd sit and wait
Then marked our parting from that date
I read by line, by line, by line
That old sarcastic Valentine
That you denied you'd sent to me
Then took it back
It's a thought that we shared, a careless phrase
A curse or a joke, some words of praise
But I didn't write
Did you wonder why?
It was the easiest way to say "Goodbye"
You'll see my photo beside the article
That's just some guy I used to know
I was never his
He was always mine
But I wrote him off by line, by line
By line, by line, by line, by line
By line, by line, by line, by line
