“Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity”
Elvis Costello (1954) English singer-songwriter
All This Useless Beauty
Song lyrics, All This Useless Beauty (1996)
Context: Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
If something you missed didn't even exist
It was just an ideal — is it such a surprise?
Selena (1971–1995) Mexican-American singer, songwriter, actress, and fashion designer
