Subject: CRD Elvis Costello "Home is Anywhere..."


Here's "Anywhere...." - let me know of any corrections, as I won't swear its
100% correct (words or music).

Capo at the second fret - when I write a G, it is really an A


                     D G
Here comes Mr. Misery

                    D          G
He's tearin out his hair again

                 D
He's crying over her again

G/A      G/G#    G
Standing in the supermarket

Em              A
Shouting at the customers


D                     G
Here comes Mr. Misery

                   D
With a mouthful of gold and blood

     G/A    G/G#    G
He's comtemplating murder again

Em            A
He must be in love


*Chorus*
         G                 D
Well she knows she doesn't want you

        F#                       Bm
But you can'tseem to get in your head

E                D
Oh and you can't sleep at night

       F#                 Bm
As she haunts you in your bed

          D
When your tired of talking

        A
And you can't drink it down

       F#                    Bm
So you hang around and drown instead

G                   D
Home isn't where it used to be

G          A     G   G/F#  Em7  D
Home is anywhere you hang your head

              G
You hang your head, Home is anywhere

              D
You hang your head, Home is anywhere

              E
You hang your head, Home is anywhere

G   G/F#  Em7  D
You hang your head

*Third and fourth verse, same as first two*


Here comes Mr. Misery
Lookin for a place for his mouth to shoot saying
You look cute in your birthday suit
You tore him out and screwed him up
like a bent page in a naughty picture book

The day ended as it began
except he was sicker and older than
The man he was this morning and
The world has wiped its mouth since then
or maybe it was yawning

Elvis Costello - Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head
Hard to choose a favorite Elvis song, or even album. But this one has everything that's great about him. Sung through clenched teeth, the verses convey the seething, borderline homicidal obsession of its main character. But all the acid humor seems to wash away in the bridge with the singer's passionate identification with his character's pain ("Oh you knowww she doesn't want you...") All that's left in the chorus is a melanholy resignation. All that plus some his greatest one-liners ever.

Breaking Truth Ep. 1
-Haley Ryan's POV- "GOD DAMNIT YOU STUPID PIECE OF UGH!" I slammed my fist on the top of my Dell laptop. And for the record; DON'T BUY A DELL. I have this project due at the end of the semster, well actually it's an essay on "the history of music" which is so off from what we're supposed to be learning I might add. My laptop had no internet connection for some reason even with a wireless adaptor. I was planning on doing research all day, but I guess I can't now. So I plugged my headphones into the junk and blasted "Pump it Up" by Elvis Costello to drown out the sound of my screaming. Ever since I started college at Berkley, I've been so stressed out lately. It's like I can never catch a break. And even when I'm taking a semester in New York, I can't seem to relax. It's like I have to do everything perfectly, and I want to. You could say I'm a perfectionist when it comes to school, but anywhere else I'm a complete slob. No wonder I don't have a roommate. So here I am in this little hotel in the big apple, blasting costello, screaming at the computer and mouthing the words to the song. I haven't slept in two days, but somehow I still have enough energy to run a marathon. Soemtimes I wish I never was accepted into college so I could just live the way I wanted to live. But then again, if I hadn't been accepted, I would never have even imagined becoming a writer. Berkley showed me how good I was at writing, and I'm even working on a novel on top of everything else I have going on. I just want the world to stop spinning long enough for me to chill out. -Joe Jonas' POV- I woke up with a massive pain in my side, then I saw Nick's arm moving back towards his body and him and Kevin laughing hysterically. Nick is a loser. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. It turns out we were finally here; in New York City again. One of my favorite places in the world. I got out of the car, in a complete daze from sleeping when I noticed someone familiar. I walked closer, and yes it really was her! "TARA!" I shouted and ran towards her, picking her up into a friendly hug. "Joe! Put me down! Don't break what you can't buy!" I laughed and set her down. "Why are you here? I mean not that I don't want you to be but, how'd you get here?" She straightened her shirt and looked up at me smiling. "Your parents invited me to spend the next few months with you guys. They were nice enough to fly me out here. Now we get to see each other everyday!" Man, was I happy. I haven't seen Tara in months because of touring and stuff. She's been my best friend since the age of three and we've always gotten along. She was one of the coolest people around and now I would get to see her everyday for awhile. And I know what you're thinking, NO I don't like her like that. She's like my little sister and I love her just like that. -Nick's POV- We walked up to the front desk and checked in. I have to admit I was insanely jealous that Joe got to have his best friend up here with him, I mean I would kill to have Christiana or Sara up here, but ever since I accidentally kissed Sara in front of my parents, I guess they think of us more than just friends. And by accident, I mean ACCIDENT. She tripped, I fell on top of her and bam. It went from there. Suddenly my pocket started vibrating and I opened my phone to see a text from Christiana. It said, "Heyy! Just seeing if you're in NY yet. Tell me everything, I want to know every detail about the trip. Hopefully I'll see you soon." I smiled and texted back, "Hey C, yeah I'm in the city now. So far it's pretty good, but I mean was just got here lol. But we're checkin in now so I'll call you tonight. Bye! (:" -Kevin's POV- "I wish you were here..." I whispered into the phone so my brothers wouldn't hear. I was on the phone with Gabby, my girlfriend of two years. It was killing me not being able to see her for months at a time. "I know. But maybe I can fly out for a performance or something. I'll see, but don't you go meeting any other cute girls in the Big City now." I laughed, "No one is a beautiful as you. Don't ever think differently." I knew she was smiling. "Alright, well I'll elave you to get settled in, you call me later though okay? I love you." "I love you too. Bye Gabby." Then I heard it. The noise I always hear when I get off the phone with Gabs. Joe and his friend, Tara were immitating me and Gabs. Why couldn't they just grow up already? "I love you sooooooo much my little Gabby bear!" Joe said into his hand, shaping it like a telephone. "Oh, I love you so much Kevvy. I miss you SOOOO much. Please, come home." Tara made a puppy dog face and they started busting out laughing. I rolled my eyes and continued walking towards the elevator. SORRY IT'S SHORT AND BORING. I just needed to say that stuff so you guys SEMI-get it. lol the next one is where everything starte between everyone lol :] plus for some reason i can't wrire more so it sucks. :[
